The company's generation portfolio comprises coal-fired power stations, energy storage[2] and renewable energy offtakes.[3] CS Energy has a trading portfolio of 3,535 megawatts in Australia's national electricity market. At present, the company owns and operates Kogan Creek Power Station and Callide B Power Station. CS Energy also owns Callide Power Station in a 50/50 joint venture with InterGen.

CS Energy is adding the 100 MW/200 MWh Chinchilla Battery grid-scale battery to its Kogan Creek site on the Western Downs.[4] Construction is currently underway on the battery and it is expected to be operational in late 2023.[5]

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.[6] 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,[7] at a loss of $40M to CS Energy and $6M to ARENA.

In 2020, Stanwell and CS Energy were accused of driving up prices by creating an artificial lack of supply.[8]

Management edit

Martin Moore was the CEO in 2017. Andrew Bills was appointed as CEO in 2018 and resigned in February 2023 following his appointment as CEO of SA Power Networks.[9] Darren Busine was appointed as the new permanent CEO in June 2023.[10]

In June 2023, Jim Soorley resigned as Chairman of CS Energy.[11] Queensland Energy Minister Mick de Brenni confirmed Mr Soorley “has made the decision” to leave the role he has held since 2015 and will be replaced by CS Energy director Adam Aspinall.[12]
