ABOUT US

Energy Australia’s purpose is to lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation for all.
This includes managing the transition from reliance on coal-fired generation (as they come to their end of life) to a lower emissions future involving wind, solar and hydro generation supported by energy storage and firming.
