AGL Energy Ltd (ASX: AGL) is an Australian listed public company involved in both the generation and retailing of electricity and gas for residential and commercial use.[3] AGL is Australia's largest electricity generator, and the nation's largest carbon emitter.[4] In 2022, 83% of its energy came from burning coal.[5] It produces more emissions as a single company than the nations of New Zealand, Portugal or Sweden, according to its largest shareholder, Mike Cannon-Brookes, who named it "one of the most toxic companies on the planet".[6]
AGL also generates a small percentage of energy from renewable sources.[7] It is, however, targeting 12 gigawatts of new renewable energy by 2035.[8] It closed Liddell Power Station in 2023, but aims to close Bayswater Power Station in 2033, and Loy Yang A Power Station in 2035.[9]
It is one of the "big three" retailers in the National Electricity Market.[10]
