Welcome

International Power entered the Australian energy industry in 1996 and has grown to become the country’s largest private generator of electricity. We also have a retail operation in South Australia and Victoria through Simply Energy.

International Power owns and operates 3,723MW (gross) of renewable, gas-fired and brown coal-fired generating plants in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.

It is part of the global International Power business, which in February 2011 combined with GDF SUEZ’s Energy International Business Areas outside Europe and certain assets in the UK and Turkey to form a world leader in independent power generation, with more than 66 GW of power generation (gross) in operation and 22GW gross capacity under construction.
