Shaping Australia’s energy future requires strong financial foundations and reliable, sustainable networks. That’s why we’re glad to have Queensland Treasury Corporation and, Ergon Energy Network and Energex on board as Bronze Sponsors for #NEMDEV 2025. 🔹 Queensland Treasury Corporation is the central financing authority for the Queensland Government, providing essential financial resources and services to the state. QTC safeguards and advances Queensland’s financial interests and delivers sustainable outcomes by providing cost-effective borrowings through an established funding program, creating value for the State through the delivery of priority advisory and consultancy services and strengthens public sector capability. 🔹 Energy Queensland, through Ergon Energy Network and Energex, supplies safe, secure, and sustainable electricity to 97% of Queensland communities—from the Tweed River to Torres Strait and from Brisbane to Birdsville.
