Astra is now taking work in Bathurst and the surrounding Central Tablelands.

New service area. Astra has been installing since 2021 — over 1,200 systems across the ACT, Tasmania and southern New South Wales. We are now taking work here. Everything below about your network is current and checked; what we do not yet have is a long list of local jobs, and we would rather say so.

Bathurst is Essential Energy territory. Essential is introducing flexible exports from late 2026, varying between 1.5 kW and 10 kW per phase through the day, which will need a smart inverter and an active internet connection at the property to take advantage of.
