The company also provides transmission and distribution network services and manages dispatch control of third-party assets like the 50MW/75MWh Wallgrove Grid Battery.

The company's go-to-market targets Australian C&I customers, including manufacturers, food and beverage processors, telecommunications providers, building and construction firms, universities, local councils, EV charging stations, and utilities, primarily in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Queensland. Iberdrola Australia sells green energy plans combining diversified renewable generation with flexible fast-start firming assets to deliver fixed-price, fixed-volume products that protect customers from volatile spot electricity markets. Named customers include Woolworths Group (100% renewable deal across Australia and New Zealand, projected to deliver 74%+ operational emissions reduction), Swinburne University of Technology, and Schwartz Family Company. Revenue streams include electricity sales, Large Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), carbon offset products, battery storage services, and Power Purchase Agreements with third-party generators.

Iberdrola Australia is a private company 100% owned by Iberdrola Renovables Internacional S.A.U., part of Spain's Iberdrola Group, the world's largest wind power producer by volume. The company was formerly Infigen Energy, acquired by Iberdrola Group in 2020 and rebranded. Headquartered in Sydney with offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, it employs more than 240 people. The development pipeline includes the Aurora Green offshore wind project (up to 3GW in Gippsland, Victoria), multiple battery projects under construction and development totaling over 3GWh, and a €1bn (US$1.16bn) capital investment commitment to battery storage by 2028. Leadership transitioned in January 2026 with Paul Simshauser AM becoming CEO, succeeding Ross Rolfe AO who remains Chairman.

Regional players

• Contact Energy: NZ-listed integrated renewable generator (geothermal, wind, hydro) and retailer offering renewable PPAs to commercial and industrial customers. Comparable vertically integrated firm-energy product set in a related ANZ electricity market.
• Meridian Energy: NZ state-owned generator and retailer with a renewable fleet (wind, hydro), BESS projects and C&I supply contracts. Closely mirrors Iberdrola Australia's wholesale + retail business model and reliance on intermittent firming.
• Mercury NZ: New Zealand-listed vertically integrated renewable generator (wind, hydro, geothermal) and multi-product retailer. Operates a similar firm-energy business model with a focus on renewables-backed fixed-price retail offers, structurally comparable to Iberdrola Australia even though ANZ geographies differ.

Direct peers

• AGL Energy: Australia's largest integrated energy retailer and generator, with comparable ownership of wind (Macarthur, Coopers Gap, Silverton), utility-scale solar, BESS, and a C&I plus residential retail book targeting decarbonisation customers. Directly comparable vertically integrated model and Australian market focus.
• Origin Energy: Major Australian energy retailer and generation owner with a growing renewables pipeline (Yanco Delta, Mount Hopeless), BESS projects, and direct overlap serving C&I customers with renewable PPAs and firm energy products.

Broad incumbents

• Shell Energy Australia: Australian retail arm of Shell, one of the largest B2B electricity retailers in the country competing directly with Iberdrola Australia's C&I book, though its generation ownership in Australia is more limited.
• Engie Australia & New Zealand: Subsidiary of French utility ENGIE, operating Australian renewables (wind, solar), BESS and energy retail serving C&I customers. Broader global portfolio but directly comparable Australian operations to Iberdrola Australia.
• Alinta Energy: Australian generator and retailer owned by Brookfield, operating legacy thermal and gas plants alongside growing wind (Walkaway asset was acquired from Alinta prior) and solar/battery projects. Competes head-to-head for C&I renewable supply contracts.

Emerging players

• Tilt Renewables: Pure-play Australian/NZ wind and solar developer historically a direct onshore wind peer to Iberdrola Australia's portfolio. Now private under Canadian pension-fund ownership and continues developing utility-scale wind assets that overlap Iberdrola's pipeline.
• EDL Group (Energy Developments): Australian distributed-generation and remote-energy operator with wind, solar and BESS assets plus C&I supply. Comparable platform structure around renewable firming and remote-grid C&I customers.
