Biographical history
The Brisbane Electric Supply Company Limited was registered under The Companies Act of 1863 on 2 September 1896, taking over the business of E. Barton. The purpose of the company was to generate, distribute and supply electricity. It also acquired the right to supply electricity to part of the inner city of Brisbane and later a larger area, under the Electric Light and Power Act of 1896. In 1904, the company was terminated and registered under a new company name, the City Electric Light Company Limited.
