Metered Energy manages electricity retail services for embedded networks (e.g. apartment blocks) in regional and South East Queensland. It has more than 15,000 household customers and also offers gas and hot water utilities.

Rather than selling directly with tenants and property owners within the embedded network, Metered Energy works with body corporate and/or building managers.
