Endeavour Energy CEO, Guy Chalkley appointed Chair of Energy Charter CEO Council

We’re pleased to announce Endeavour Energy CEO, Guy Chalkley, has been appointed chair of the @Energy Charter’s CEO Council for 2023!

“The Energy Charter is a voluntary, CEO led group of like-minded Australian energy organisations with a shared purpose and passion for customers and communities,” Guy said.

“We collaborate across all parts of the energy supply chain to deliver better energy outcomes for our customers and communities

“By working together, we are capable of so much more. We can be bold and resolve system wide issues so that all Australians benefit from a brighter energy future.    I am delighted to Chair the Energy Charter CEO Council in its fifth year of operation.”

“I welcome the CEO Council’s recent decision to publish a joint Statement of Support (SoS) that sets out how Energy Charter signatories are responding to cost-of-living pressures experienced by their customers and communities across Australia.

The SoS (see the Energy Charter’s website) is a commitment to align action on key relief, support and prevention measures that assist customers and communities facing vulnerable circumstances.

In addition to existing programs in each businesses, the SoS features new collaboration commitments including:

• A nationally coordinated concessions’ awareness  and engagement campaign
• Expanding the successful NSW based energy literacy program for culturally and linguistically diverse communities into Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory to support communities facing cost-of-living vulnerability.

The SoS marks the Council’s first collaborative commitment under the Priority #BetterTogether (#BT) on Cost of Living and complements work already underway through the Landholder and Community Social Licence and Knock to Stay Connected Priority #BTs.

“The Energy Charter’s big opportunity is to keep humans at the centre of the design and delivery of energy solutions; to understand and navigate the changing needs of customers and communities as we transform to a cleaner energy future.

“There is no other collaboration like the Energy Charter; and the work we do, together, has never been more important than it is today,” said Guy.

The Energy Charter CEO Council acknowledged and thanked out going Chair, Rebecca Kardos, the previous Aurora Energy CEO, for her outstanding leadership during 2022 and for expertly guiding the 3-Year Strategic Review of the Energy Charter.
