About Us
Potentia Energy (previously Enel Green Power Australia) is a dynamic joint venture entity co-owned by two global energy leaders, Enel Green Power and INPEX, both committed to driving Australia's energy transition and supporting the nation in achieving its net zero target.
With a proven track record and extensive expertise across the project lifecycle, Potentia Energy has established a strong presence in the Australian renewable energy sector. After acquiring a significant number of projects, our current portfolio currently has 9 operating plants, comprising over 800MW of solar and wind capacity across Australia. This acquisition has doubled their current portfolio and has secured Potentia Energy a strong position in WA. Potentia Energy also has rights secured for a development pipeline of over 8GW across Australia and is committed to an ambitious growth agenda, targeting a significant increase to its installed capacity across wind, solar, storage and hybrid projects.
Guided by our core values – Collaboration, Authenticity, Responsibility and Excellence – we work closely with local communities, our partners and customer to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
