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.

Metered Energy was established in 2012 and is a private, Australian-owned company with headquarters and a call centre in Brisbane. It has operated in Queensland alone since it received retailer authorisation, but it also has licenses to sell electricity and gas in New South Wales as of 2011.

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