OUTSOURCED OPERATIONS
Envestra’s business strategy is founded on striking an appropriate balance between internal management and outsourced operations. Our business is run by senior managers with extensive energy industry experience and, unlike many other infrastructure entities, no fees are paid to financial institutions to manage the financing, regulatory, legal or strategic functions. Operation of the gas distribution networks and transmission pipelines, including maintenance, engineering, network development, consumer service and various administrative activities, is outsourced to APA Asset Management (APA). Significant incentives are available to APA to improve productivity, increase revenue and enhance services.
