Congratulations from Essential Energy

Local councils have much to be proud of given their ongoing commitment and enthusiasm toward driving diverse cultural initiatives that benefit communities and contribute to the rich cultural fabric of NSW.

As a long-time supporter of local councils, Essential Energy is honoured to again support this awards initiative and congratulate councils on the role they play in fostering cultural life across the state.

Essential Energy's electricity network spans 95 per cent of NSW and, as such, we take our responsibility to provide opportunities for local communities, including promoting cultural life in the 1,500-plus communities we serve, very seriously.

We have strong synergies with councils – we are all committed to supporting and accommodating the growing needs of our customers and stakeholders.

Examples of Essential Energy’s support range from the popular Countryscapes – the $35,000 Essential Energy Art Prize for Landscape Painting – to sponsorship of local shows, field days and community events.

Such events and opportunities go hand-in-hand with our commitment to providing safe and reliable electricity services and energy efficiency and sustainability advice for families and businesses in regional NSW.

Essential Energy congratulates the LGSA and its members on their unwavering dedication to the ongoing development and sustainability of their local communities.

Proudly sponsored by
