About


Territory Generation is the Northern Territory’s trusted and respected energy services business and its largest wholesale electricity generator, owning and operating eight power stations. We reliably provide wholesale electricity and essential system services to support the Territory’s major population centres using gas, diesel, solar and battery energy storage technologies.

Territory Generation was formerly an operational business unit of the Power and Water Corporation. As part of reforms announced by the Northern Territory Government in December 2013, Territory Generation underwent structural separation from Power and Water Corporation, forming a separate Government Owned Corporation on 1 July 2014.
