Energex
Energex distributes across south-east Queensland. It sits under Energy Queensland alongside Ergon Energy Network and shares a technical manual with it — but not its application forms.
What they assess
- Approval before installation, exporting or not
- Every distributed energy system needs approval before it is installed, including systems configured never to export.
- The applicant need not be the account holder
- An installer can apply with the customer's authority, and in doing so takes on keeping that customer informed of where the application has got to.
Where it snags
The forms are not interchangeable between Energex and Ergon. A shared technical manual makes the two look like one process, and lodging on the wrong network's form is the mistake that follows from it. Energex — connection information for installers
A system that will not export still needs approval before installation. Assuming non-export means no application is the other common way a Queensland job stalls. Energex — connection information for installers

Confirm the distributor from the bill, NMI record or connection approval before relying on this page. Embedded networks, remote grids and private networks may use a different authority. The connection offer and the site-specific approval override anything general, here or on the distributor’s own site. Reviewed 2026-08-08.
