Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox government agency The Australian Capital Territory Electricity Authority (ACTE or A.C.T. Electricity Authority) was an authority formed on 1 July 1963 to manage energy supply in the Australian Capital Territory.[1] During the 1950s and 60s Canberra's population was rapidly increasing,[2] causing excessive energy demands and price increases.[3] In response the Minister for the Interior, Sir Gordon Freeth, formed the new Authority. The new authority aimed to allow more consumer input by giving the Australian Capital Territory Advisory Council a seat on the board. Previously the electric supply of Canberra had been managed by the Department of the Interior (Canberra).[4]

On 1 July 1988 the Energy and Water Act 1988 was passed, merging the ACT Electricity Authority and ACT Water into ACT Electricity and Water, later ACTEW.[5]
