About


Territory Generation is the Northern Territory’s trusted and respected energy services business and largest wholesale electricity generator. We own and operate 8 power stations, delivering reliable electricity and essential system services to support the Territory’s major population centres. Our energy mix includes gas, diesel, solar, bio-fuel, and battery energy storage technologies. We supply wholesale electricity, capacity to meet load demand, and essential system services such as frequency and voltage control, network support, and black start services. Territory Generation is committed to transitioning our fleet to support the Northern Territory Government’s energy objectives. We are focused on advancing innovative energy solutions reliably and at lowest cost to power the Territory’s future.

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.
