History
The name Infigen is derived from the words infinite and generation. Infigen Energy listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in October 2005 under the code IFN. When they joined the ASX, they had three wind farms with an installed capacity of nearly 150 megawatts. According to a 2007 article, they had 33 wind farms with an installed capacity of 1,200 megawatts. As of 2007, they were the world's fourth largest owner of wind farms and are Australia's biggest wind power supplier.
In 2009, Infigen changed its name from Babcock & Brown Wind Partners after branching out from troubled parent company Babcock & Brown.
In 2012, Infigen hosted its first "Run with the Wind" marathon at its Woodlawn Wind Farm. The following year, the company hosted their second marathon and were supported by the Greater Western Sydney Giants. In both marathons, the race was won by Olympian runner Martin Dent, and proceeds were donated to charity.
In 2013, the company collaborated with Danish wind turbines manufacturer Vestas on the wind energy campaign Act on Facts.
In 2015, Infigen joined the Carbon Disclosure Project's Road to Paris climate commitments, also known as We Mean Business coalition. The same year Infigen joined Australia's CitySwitch Green Office program, which is a partnership between businesses and local, state and federal governments working together to make a positive impact on climate change.
Infigen is a signatory to Caring for Climate, UN Global Compact.
