ActewAGL

ActewAGL is an Australian multi-utility joint venture company that provides utility services in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and south-east New South Wales. The company was formed in October 2000 between the Australian Gas Light Company (now AGL Energy) and ACTEW Corporation (now Icon Water), an ACT Government-owned corporation.
As of October 2017, ActewAGL is made up of two partnerships:
History.
ActewAGL and their predecessors have been supplying energy and essential services to the Canberra region for over 100 years. 
ActewAGL was formed in October 2000 as a joint venture between the Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) and ACTEW Corporation, a government-owned enterprise of the ACT Government.
In 2000, ActewAGL entered into a contract with ACTEW Corporation for the management and operation of the water and sewerage network of the ACT and surrounding area. In February 2004, ActewAGL entered into a management agreement with TransACT Capital Communications Pty Ltd.
In October 2006 ActewAGL's business was reorganised, creating separate retail and distribution entities. AGL and ACTEW Corporation continued as the partners for the retail business and Alinta and ACTEW Corporation became partners of the distribution business. Alinta changed its name in August 2008 to Jemena.
In June 2012, ACTEW Corporation did not renew ActewAGL's water and sewerage management contract.
Innovation.
Since its beginning, ActewAGL has continued to undertake several innovative programs to help the environment. They include the following.
Evoenergy.
Evoenergy is the name used by the electricity poles and wires, and gas pipes business and is part of the ActewAGL Distribution partnership. Evoenergy owns and operates over 2,000 km of electricity network and over 4,500 km of gas mains.
In 2018, Evoenergy partnered with the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) to build a first-of-its-kind hydrogen test facility to test how hydrogen interacts with network materials, work practices and equipment. The study so far has verified that the underground 200kPa plastic network is compatible with 100 percent hydrogen.
In March 2020, Evoenergy was awarded $2.05 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to research and test the impact of distributed energy resources on Canberra's energy market. The project will involve working in close collaboration with Schneider Electric, GreenSync, and Withywindle, and will explore the effect that distributed energy resources such as solar photovoltaics (PV), battery installations and electric vehicles have on the electricity network, and how these resources can be used by customers to their full potential.
In September 2020, Evoenergy received a $250,000 grant from the ACT Government to provide home batteries for 75 homes as part of the Ginninderry Residential Battery Trial. Ginninderry Estate is one of Canberra's first all-electric suburbs and the project will provide Evoenergy with the opportunity to analyse solar and battery usage patterns.
