Aurora Energy
The electricity retail company Aurora Energy was formed by the dis-aggregation of the Hydro Electric Commission in Tasmania, Australia, on July 1, 1998. This resulted in the division of the formerly government owned department into three companies – Hydro Tasmania which generates the power, Transend Networks which distributes it across the state, and Aurora Energy, the retail arm, which sells it to customers. This is in anticipation of Tasmania joining the NEM (National Electricity Market), which will open up the market to competitors.
In September 2004, Aurora secured naming rights to Launceston AFL stadium York Park. The stadium will be known as Aurora Stadium until 2010.
