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.

Our 2300 people are united by a clear purpose.
To lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation for all.
We keep the lights on for customers today, through our energy generation facilities powered by coal, gas and renewables, combined with large-scale storage. And we’re leading the delivery of the clean energy system of the future, with projects that will provide flexible generation and enable the growth of renewables. We’re making the transition simple for our 1.6 million customers.
We are committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. As part of this we’ll transition out of coal by 2040, in a way that doesn’t leave communities or our people behind. It’s all part of leading and accelerating the clean energy transformation with reliable and affordable energy for all.
For over 20 years, we have played a key role in Tasmania’s energy security and have built up local knowledge and expertise. We're part of the Tasmanian community, supporting local business and industry, along with local charities and sports.
The energy market is changing, nationally and internationally, so we've been changing with that to become a diversified energy business, Solstice Energy. One that provides natural gas and electricity and is also exploring the possibilities in renewable gas and biofuels.
But what will never change is our strong commitment to Tasmania. We've been here for more than 20 years and Solstice Energy will remain local, employing Tasmanians, with offices in Hobart and Launceston, supporting Tasmanian businesses and communities.
At Solstice Energy we are driven by our values of Care, Together, Responsibility, Curiosity and Community. They are the foundation of everything we do – they are our North Star. These values underpin our work, they speak of who we are and what’s important to us. Our values guide our actions and the decisions we make each and every day.
