About Us

We believe in the power of natural thinking.

Since our first hydropower development almost a century ago, Hydro Tasmania has been a leader in renewable energy development and is Australia’s largest producer of renewable energy.

Today, we use a combination of water and wind power to harness natural energy that we sell on the national grid.

Our company also owns Momentum, the Victorian specialist electricity retailer. And through our consulting arm, Entura, we share our expertise in energy and water with governments, utilities, developers and international companies.
