CS Energy is a Queensland Government-owned and based energy company with operations in Central Queensland, the Western Downs and South East Queensland.

We employ more than 740 people who live and work in the communities in which we operate.

Our purpose

Deliver safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy for Queensland

Since 1997 CS Energy has provided reliable electricity to homes and businesses. In the 2020s, we are adapting our business to thrive in the rapidly changing energy world.  

Our portfolio

CS Energy's core business is generating and selling electricity in the National Electricity Market where we have an energy portfolio of more than 3,600 megawatts.

Our portfolio includes thermal power stations, renewable energy, firming and storage. 

We also have a pipeline of new generation projects at differing stages of construction, approval and early development aimed at diversifying our generation mix to provide a reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity supply.

Our role in the energy supply chain

Our customers

We provide retail electricity services to large commercial and industrial customers in Queensland, including mines, airports, ports and Queensland Government departments and agencies.

Our dedicated Retail Business Team has significant energy market expertise and works directly with our customers to provide bespoke energy solutions, including through firmed renewable supply.

We also have a 50/50 retail joint venture with Alinta Energy that supplies electricity to residential and small commercial customers in South East Queensland. We formed this joint venture in 2017 to introduce greater competition in the SEQ retail electricity market.

In the wholesale market, our customers are large businesses that use financial derivatives to manage their exposure to pool price volatility.

Our communities

CS Energy is proud to call Biloela, Chinchilla, Brisbane and Greenbank home, and we are committed to building lasting and positive relationships in these communities.

We are an organisation with deep roots in regional Queensland, creating employment and economic opportunities that helps to sustain local communities.

We invest in these local communities through our annual sponsorship and donation programs, and by procuring goods and services from local suppliers wherever possible.
