Ergon Energy Food and Wine Festival Digital Program 2017

THE ERGON ENERGY FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL

15–17 SEPT TCOF.COM.AU

As part of the Energy Queensland group, Ergon Energy is proud to support the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers for the 19th consecutive year, and the tenth year as a Major Sponsor of the Ergon Energy Food and Wine Festival.

We love that we can support the Toowoomba community in making the award winning Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers one of the best festivals in Australia. Our contribution to the communities where our customers and employees live is equally as important as providing a safe and reliable power supply.

We are constantly thinking forward to ensure we can deliver for the community and help customers source and use electricity into the future. We’re focused on what our customers and our community expect of us and ďŹ nding ways to do things smarter and more efficiently.

DAVID SMALES Chief Executive Officer, Energy Queensland
