CS Energy is an Australia-based electricity generating company fully owned by the Government of Queensland with its head office located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. The company was established in 1997 and employs more than 500 staff.[3]
The company's generation portfolio comprises coal-fired power stations, energy storage[4] and renewable energy offtakes.[5]
As at 2023, CS Energy is adding the 100 MW/200 MWh Chinchilla Battery grid-scale battery to its Kogan Creek site on the Western Downs.[6]
CS Energy was awarded A$32 million in 2010 to help construct Australia's first large-scale solar thermal project at Kogan Creek Power Station.[7] Funding was provided by the Rudd Government under the Renewable Energy Demonstration Program. However, in March 2016, it was announced that CS Energy would 'pull the plug' on that project.[8]
In 2020, Stanwell and CS Energy were accused of driving up prices by creating an artificial lack of supply.[9]
