About ActewAGL

ActewAGL was set up in October 2000 when the Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) and ACTEW Corporation, an ACT Government owned enterprise entered into Australia’s first utility joint venture. Following October 2006 business dealings between AGL and Alinta ownership of ActewAGL’s retail arm was shared equally between AGL Energy and ACTEW Corporation and ownership of ActewAGL’s distribution arm was shared equally between Alinta and ACTEW Corporation.

Further changes to the distribution partnership occurred when a consortium including Singapore Power purchased Alinta in 2007. The distribution partnership is now owned equally by Singapore Power and ACTEW Corporation. Alinta was subsequently renamed Jemena and is a subsidiary company of Singapore Power.
