United Energy Distribution

 

Jemena owns a 34% interest in UED, which owns the electricity distribution network servicing the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Its licence area is largely urban in nature.  The balance of UED is owned by DUET Group.  UED earns revenue principally from electricity retailers making sales of electricity within its licence area by utilising UED’s infrastructure.  These revenues are regulated. Non-regulated revenues include revenues from activities such as telecommunications cabling and pole rental.

 

UED supplies approximately 620,000 customers (Feb 07), 90% residential, in a 1,472 square kilometre area from the south-eastern suburbs, southwards down the Mornington peninsula. Powerlines on the network are approximately 13,000 kilometres long (25% rural, 80% above ground) on 209,000 poles.
