AGL commands significant market leadership in the renewable generation space in Australia with its existing and planned assets positioned to deliver immediate value upside under a carbon constrained environment.

AGL has a deep renewable energy generation growth portfolio with several projects under construction or projects which are under development consideration totalling over 400MW.

AGL's owned and operated renewable energy generation assets comprise around 23% of our generation portfolio.

AGL holds a pre-eminent position in preparation for a future carbon-constrained world. And has invested more than $2 billion in renewable generation.

AGL has Australia's largest retail energy and dual fuel customer base.

Drawing on over 170 years of experience, more than 3 million customers use AGL’s gas and electricity, including leading brands such as Coopers Beer and Arnott’s biscuits.

AGL was the first Australian energy company to provide an accredited Green energy product, and was the first Australian company to join the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), the world’s first carbon trading exchange.

In joining the CCX, AGL has committed to a 6% reduction in emissions, based on 1998/2001 levels. It is the only Australian energy company which has imposed such strict carbon limits on itself.

The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) was formed in Sydney in 1837. It supplied gas for the first public lighting of a street lamp in Sydney in 1841 and was the second company to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.
