We have approved a $450 million investment to construct the second stage of the Eraring battery. Stage two adds a 240 MW / 1030 MWh four-hour duration grid-forming battery to the stage one development of a 460 MW / 1073 MWh two-hour duration battery which is already under construction. We look forward to bringing these batteries online to help us better manage variability in renewables supply and deliver reliable electricity to customers. Find out more:
About us
Origin is one of Australia's leading energy companies, exploring, generating and delivering energy to over 4 million customer accounts. Our purpose – getting energy right for our customers, communities and planet – drives everything we do. As Australia's largest energy retailer, we have an important role to play in providing electricity, natural gas, solar and LPG to Australian communities and work every day to make energy more affordable, more sustainable, smarter and easier for our customers. We are committed to leading the transition to a cleaner energy future and believe our company, and the energy industry more broadly, should be at the forefront of action to reduce carbon emissions. Origin was the first Australian company to set an emissions reduction target endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – aiming to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 2032, as we work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Through the Origin Energy Foundation, we support programs that use education to help break the cycle of disadvantage and empower young Australians to reach their potential, contributing more than $27 million to support community organisations since 2010.

We’ve installed a 2440kW solar system with Accolade Wines at their Berri Estates winery in South Australia. Through a solar power purchase agreement, the system was installed without any upfront costs to Accolade, with Origin owning and maintaining the system on their behalf. Allowing Accolade to harness the power of the sun to reduce their emissions and optimise their energy use and costs. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gmpKDrVb #SolarPower #SolarEnergy

We're pleased to have been awarded a feasibility licence for our Navigator North offshore wind project in the Gippsland Basin by the Australian Government, reflecting the strong capabilities and commitments of Origin and our joint venture partner RES. We believe Navigator North could provide a material source of clean energy in the future, and look forward to working with RES to continue to progress planning on this potential offshore wind development.

As the upstream operator of Australia Pacific LNG, we're delighted to support Sculptures Out Back. Now in its fourth year, it has quickly become a south-west Queensland highlight and transformed Roma into the sculpture capital of the west, showcasing the region’s incredible talent and creativity. It's more than just an art competition — it brings out the vibrant spirit and cultural richness of our community. Check out the highlights from this year’s festival.

We’ve reached a key milestone for our large-scale battery project at Eraring Power Station, delivering a custom 210-tonne transformer to the site. The successful transportation of the transformer marked a significant logistical feat, covering nearly 60km from Mayfield Port to the Eraring Power Station. This was accomplished using two block trucks towing a 16-axle platform trailer, with an additional push truck at the rear for added support. Watch the journey in the video below. #EnergyStorage #Transformers

Our ambition is to play a pivotal role in the transition to cleaner energy, and wind power is at the heart of this transition. Accurate wind measurements are essential for planning successful wind farms, both onshore and offshore. Recently we installed meteorological masts, known as met masts, at our proposed Northern Tablelands Wind Farm Project site. These met masts, combined with other technologies, provide crucial data on wind speed, direction, and other vital weather parameters. This data is essential for perfecting our planning and making sure we harness the full potential of wind energy.

We've helped the City of Melbourne launch the first of three battery energy storage systems in Melbourne’s CBD as part of its Power Melbourne project. The batteries are part of a trial phase, which ultimately aims to provide residents and businesses in Melbourne with cleaner, smarter and more affordable energy. Sally Capp AO James Magill
