Origin 360 EV

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 employ hundreds of qualified engineers across several discipline areas who are integral to the safe and reliable operations and maintenance of our generation, gas production and LPG assets. 
 
We’re pleased to announce signing a 3-year partnership with Engineers Australia’s Engineering Workforce Credentialing (EWC) Program which will enhance our in-house engineering capabilities by supporting the our people's development. 
 
This partnership provides our engineers with a pathway to credentials and eventually chartership with Australia’s leading engineering body. This recognised accreditation is fundamental to individuals demonstrating competency and credibility as a professional in their chosen field.

It’s been a big year for our Origin Loop Virtual Power Plant (VPP), finishing up with over 1GW under control and a growing number of retail partners helping customers connect to their batteries to the platform. Hear from the Origin team and some of our retail partners as they reflect on the benefits Loop is helping deliver. 


We are helping Dreamworld install Australia’s largest theme park solar system with a 708-kW installation, expected to generate an estimated 21% of the park’s annual electricity usage while helping to reduce its carbon emissions by an estimated 21% per year. 

The view from atop the Eraring Power Station over looking at the large-scale battery being constructed at the site. The first stage involves the construction of a 460 MW battery storage system with a dispatch duration of two hours.

We're now close to completing the main civil works, a significant milestone and perhaps the most challenging part of this innovative project. Battery equipment will be supplied by Finnish technology group Wärtsilä, while design and construction services are being provided by Enerven, a subsidiary of SA Power Networks.

Congratulations to our head of eMobility, Chau Le, on the Women in Business award she received at the 2023 Pause Awards, which recognise the most ambitious and innovative companies in Australia.    
  
Origin is also thrilled to receive awards in two other categories, New Model and Going Green. These awards recognise the Origin 360 EV team's innovative business model, which is focused on helping Australians switch to cleaner transportation by offering a range of EV solutions.
