Power generating assets are of undeniable importance, and the quality of our people differentiate our business from others. Our team is highly experienced and we continue to attract the best and brightest, always looking to strengthen our company moving into the future.
Switched on.
The ingenuity of our people and their commitment to exploring and developing new sources of reliable power supply is our greatest strength.
Reliable energy.
Harnessing both old and new sustainable forms of power generation, coupled with the development of battery technology, will see Genuity provide stable, dependable power for generations to come.
As developers, owners and operators of an evolving portfolio of world class power generation facilities, we deliver stable, flexible and affordable electricity solutions that our customers can rely on.
Our growth strategy sees our company investing in developments spanning a transitional generation mix of flexible assets and emerging, innovative technologies in the low carbon realm.
Our skilled, experienced trading team sells our electricity and related services to utilities, system operators and retailers across Australia.
Coal Fired Power Stations
Our coal-fired plants in Australia are among some of the most advanced facilities on the continent. As older, less sophisticated designs are taken offline to tackle emissions and protect groundwater resources, these newer plants generate electricity more efficiently, using fewer resources.
In an energy market which experiences a range of supply and demand challenges, our plants provide significant levels of baseload, and help to secure the supply of electricity to consumers across the state of Queensland.
Our team is committed to supporting the provision of secure electricity. We are also well placed to support the transition to a low carbon future by providing the reliability and flexibility needed when incorporating more intermittent renewable generation into the grid.
Battery Storage
Developing large-scale energy storage capabilities will help to resolve the challenges surrounding intermittency of renewable generation.
At Genuity, we’re working on this emerging technology now.
The share of wind and solar power is increasing in Australia’s energy mix, but these sources only generate power when the wind blows or the sun shines. The use of batteries to store the excess power generated can help balance supply and demand during periods of low renewable energy output.
Emerging Technologies
Our team of experts continue to explore other viable, renewable-energy solutions that can be relied on for stable, dependable electricity in a low-carbon future.
The world is changing, and we’re proudly playing an active role in pursuing new technologies that will benefit generations to come.
Wind Power
With a view to the future and enhancing the flexibility of the existing Millmerran power station in supporting the National Electricity Market and its objectives, along with supporting the Queensland Energy & Jobs Plan, Genuity is assessing the potential for a new wind farm connection co-located with the Millmerran Power Station.
The project is currently progressing through early stage technical, grid and environmental review. It is anticipated the Millmerran site could host a windfarm in the order of 200 to 550MW.
PCC Project
Genuity is considering participation in an industry-leading carbon capture, utilisation and storage research project in conjunction with Glencore affiliate, Carbon Transport and Storage Company (CTSCo).
The Millmerran Power Station would be the source of the carbon dioxide that CTSCo intends to store at a different Queensland location. The Millmerran Power Station would host and provide certain services to CTSCo’s post-combustion carbon capture plant. The demonstration scale plant is intended to convert some of Millmerran Power Station’s emissions to food-grade carbon dioxide for safe use or storage elsewhere.

Emberock UK Sub-group Tax Strategy
Year ended 31 December 2023
Emberock is the new name for the UK sub-group that started the year as the InterGen sub-group.
2023 was a year of significant change. In January 2023, the UK sub-group disposed of its InterGen UK assets, specifically the entities holding natural gas-fired facilities in the UK. Following the disposal of these assets, the UK sub-group has rebranded as “Emberock”. The UK sub-group now consists of holding companies through which its remaining joint venture interests in Australia are held. This joint venture, headed by a company previously known as OzGen, has been rebranded as Genuity. Genuity are developers, owners and operators of an evolving portfolio of world class power generation facilities.
All the UK holding companies (referred to collectively as “Emberock UK”), are subject to UK taxes.
Approach to risk management and governance arrangements in relation to UK tax
The legacy Intergen UK subgroup had previously been assessed as a Low Risk taxpayer by HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), the UK Tax Authority. Emberock UK is committed to maintaining the governance and the behaviours that have underpinned this assessment to date.
The Board of Directors of Emberock Holdings UK Limited are responsible for overseeing the general finance functions of Emberock UK’s affiliates in the UK. This overseeing function includes all UK tax risk management, tax governance and tax compliance topics. They are supported by external advisors, if necessary.
Attitude of the UK group towards tax planning
Emberock UK is committed to ensuring it is compliant with all applicable tax laws, rules, regulations and reporting requirements that relate to UK tax. We will look to ensure we claim all applicable tax reliefs and benefits where it is beneficial to do so.
Emberock UK aims to structure its commercial activities to ensure they are optimum from a legal, financial, tax and treasury perspective. While tax is one of a number of factors that is considered when undertaking business transactions, we do not undertake transactions primarily for tax planning purposes.
Level of risk the UK group is prepared to accept in relation to UK tax
Emberock UK considers it has a low tolerance towards tax risk. In cases where there is significant complexity or uncertainty in the tax legislation, professional tax advisers are engaged to ensure that the Emberock UK companies’ tax returns and tax positions align with UK law and regulations.
Approach of the group towards dealing with HMRC
Emberock UK affiliates are committed to work collaboratively with the tax authorities, choosing a cooperative approach in dealing with HMRC that prioritises transparency and trust.
Approved by the Board of Directors of Emberock Holdings UK Limited, on behalf of it and its UK tax resident affiliates, in accordance with paragraph 19(2) Schedule 19 Finance Act 2016
