GPG was created in 2014, in order to bring together the international power generation assets and business for the company outside Europe, with the participation of the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA).

In the spirit of reconciliation, GPG acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
