Origin Energy is an Australian integrated energy company with operations spanning natural gas exploration and production, electricity generation and retail energy sales. Headquartered in Sydney, the company develops and produces gas from onshore and offshore fields in Australia, including its stake in the Australia Pacific LNG joint venture. On the generation side, Origin’s portfolio comprises gas-fired power stations as well as investments in renewable energy projects such as wind farms, solar installations and battery storage facilities.
In its retail business, Origin supplies electricity, natural gas and solar products to residential and commercial customers across all Australian states and territories. The company offers energy plans and services under the Origin brand, along with specialty offerings such as solar panel installation, home batteries and energy management tools designed to help customers monitor usage and reduce costs.
Formed in 2000 through the merger of government-owned entities, Origin Energy has evolved into a major player in Australia’s energy sector. It has pursued a strategy of diversifying its fuel mix while investing in lower-carbon energy solutions. The company’s exploration arm continues to seek opportunities in both conventional and emerging resource basins, and its generation business balances traditional gas-fired capacity with growing renewable energy assets.
Origin is led by Chief Executive Officer Frank Calabria, who has overseen the company’s transition toward a more sustainable energy portfolio since his appointment in 2016. Under the guidance of Chair Michael Stockett and a board of directors with industry and financial expertise, Origin Energy aims to navigate the evolving energy landscape while serving millions of customers with reliable power and gas solutions.
