Searching great energy plans for you
It's possible.
Our Renewables team invests in a mix of renewable energies, such as wind and solar, to generate sustainable power. We’re leveraging our global experience and ENGIE’s ambition to achieve net zero carbon by 2045
Our ambitions
ENGIE's ambition is to be a world leader in the zero-carbon transition, and we're developing a renewable energy portfolio in Australia. With a mix of energy solutions such as wind, solar, gas, hydrogen and batteries, we are well on our way to achieving our goal of net zero by 2045. That's why, to us, zero is everything.
Carbon neutral energy plans
We offer carbon neutral energy plans that can help offset the environmental impact from your energy use. Offsetting your energy is not an add-on. For every tonne of emissions you make, we purchase one tonne of emission offsets in the form of certificates certified by Climate Active.
ENGIE values
We work hard to deliver simple, innovative solutions, such as carbon-neutral energy plans, to help our customers transition to a more sustainable future without compromising comfort, productivity or cost.
Delivering innovative energy solutions
Electric Vehicles (EV)
ENGIE has already delivered more than 100 electric vehicle (EV) charge points, to encourage mass EV adoption in Australia. Our retail business rewards our residential EV and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) customers with a super off-peak discount and bonus charging.
Our generation activities
ENGIE is building its energy portfolio in Australia, with over 3,000 megawatts (MW) of energy under development through renewable and non-renewable sources such as wind, solar and industrial-scale batteries. Our ambitious plan will support Australia's transition to a cleaner and more reliable energy grid.
Wind Farms
Wind power plays an important role in the transition to renewable energy, helping us create a more reliable and efficient hybrid energy system. The combined generation capacity of our current and proposed Wind Farm projects could generate enough renewable energy to power up to 1.2 million average Australian homes.
Solar Farms
Solar farms are an excellent energy source, providing clean and renewable power. Building solar farms allows us to diversify our energy sources while decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels.
Who is ENGIE?
Simply Energy has undergone a transition, and is now ENGIE.
Operating in 31 countries across five continents, ENGIE has ambitions to lead the transition to a carbon neutral future.
Our priorities
Customer focused
We proudly serve over 700,000 electricity and gas customer accounts across Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland.
Renewables
We are committed to developing large-scale renewable energy assets in wind, solar and battery storage to create a cleaner, more cost-effective energy grid.
Energy Solutions
We work hard to deliver innovative solutions and technology, such as the rollout of a rapid fast charging network of more than 100 public Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, commuter car park charging, vehicle -to-grid charging, and electric bus charging.
Flexible generation
We generate 1000 megawatts (MW) of renewable and non-renewable energy to create greater grid stability in South Australia.
The Hazelwood Rehabilitation Project in Victoria converted Australia's first retired coal-fired power station into a utility-scale battery capable of storing 150 MWh of energy (which is the equivalent to one hour of energy generation from rooftop solar systems of 30,000 homes),and can quickly and cost-effectively respond to network and market demand.
Global Energy Management & Sales (GEMS)
GEMS creates tailor-made energy solutions to meet the unique needs of our business clients, with a strong focus on decarbonisation and decentralisation to help lower their carbon footprint. We do this through three areas of expertise;
- Asset management to optimise your business's energy assets, like solar and battery storage.
- Energy supply to help you secure reliable, affordable energy that meets your business's needs.
- Risk management solutions and access to worldwide energy markets.
Frequently asked questions
What is ENGIE doing to achieve net zero emissions?
Globally, ENGIE is committed to decarbonisation, aiming to reach net zero by 2045. We aim to do this by reducing carbon emissions per kWh produced compared with benchmarks set in 2017, reducing emissions of products sold by at least 34%, and increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix.
