Yurringa Energy is pleased to announce the appointment of Fiona Savage as General Manager Retail.

Fiona brings extensive senior leadership experience across the Australian energy sector, with a strong track record in building operational capability for energy retail start-ups.

Her deep expertise in retail energy operations, regulatory change, customer service, billing, market processes, and operational transformation will support Yurringa Energy’s continued focus on strong governance, regulatory compliance, operational performance, and customer outcomes as the business continues to develop its retail capability.

And yep, we couldn't be happier to have Fiona join the Yurringa Energy team!!

Fiona has always said 'One of the big things that attracted me to Yurringa Energy, is the chance to pass on decades of retail energy experience as we bring on our First Nations team members, who might be just starting in the industry. When I retire, I'd love to know I've mentored some of the next generation of First Nations energy leaders!'

Big news again, yes more big news!

Yurringa Energy has been awarded our retail electricity license in Victoria.

Yurringa Energy continues to achieve success announcing another Australian first, having been awarded our electricty retail licence by the Essential Services Commission, Victoria.

This is an extremely rigorous process that tests the financial viability and technical capability of any company wishing to retail energy in Victoria.

We’re incredibly proud to share this news, with a genuine message that we’re realising our vision of contributing to Australia’s move, to increase First Nations businesses across the economic landscape and more specifically, in industries which historically have had little or no First Nations representation.

Yorta Yorta Wemba Wemba man, Yurringa Energy Founder and Executive Chairman Daniel Briggs acknowledges “the commitment and tireless work of our team, who are the engine room, making it possible for us to power Australian businesses”.

Yurringa Energy wishes to acknowledge the professionalism, respectful and yet rightly robust engagement we’ve had from the Essential Services Commission team in assessing our license application.

We also want to thank the Yurringa Energy Board for their leadership and drive to see Yurringa Energy succeed.

Congratulations to the Industry Capability Network - Victoria and Kinaway-The Victorian Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce on another outstanding Aboriginal Business Showcase at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The event continues to demonstrate genuine leadership in bringing together Aboriginal businesses, government, project owners and industry to create meaningful commercial opportunities and strengthen Victoria's growing Indigenous economy.

These connections are exactly what transform policy into practical outcomes.

It was also encouraging to hear The Hon. Colin Brooks MP acknowledge in his opening remarks, the progress Yurringa Energy is making as Australia's first Indigenous-owned energy retailer.

That recognition reinforces the importance of innovation and supporting First Nations businesses that are creating new industries, new careers and long-term economic participation.

Thank you to Nick Foa and the ICN Victoria team for your commitment to growing Indigenous business capability and for creating opportunities that foster collaboration, partnership and lasting economic change.

The future of Australia's economy will be stronger when First Nations businesses are empowered to compete, lead and succeed.

Yurringa Energy remains a 95% First Nations-owned energy retailer after successful $3 million capital raise to fund growth

Yurringa Energy completed a successful $3 million capital raise to fund the next stage of growth. Founder and Executive Chairman Daniel Briggs said ‘We’re a proud majority First Nations-owned business and always will be, but to grow the company nationally requires investment. Securing Taungurung Land and Waters Council (TLaWC), a Victorian Traditional Owner Corporation, and First Nations-led investment company Federation Enterprises is a fantastic outcome. Yurringa Energy is a commercially successful business and we’ll always seek to empower First Nations people and communities as we drive that commercial success’.

Matthew Burns, TLaWC CEO said ‘TLaWC is investing in the here and now, but also for long-term generational economic outcomes. We are considering a range of renewable energy and critical minerals opportunities on Taungurung Country and see a First Nations-owned retail energy company as a vital piece of the energy transition jigsaw.’

Federation Enterprises Chair Rodney Jackson said ‘Federation Enterprises accelerates Traditional Owners’ self-determination through strategic investments that enable economic independence. Our investment in Yurringa Energy is absolutely about deriving commercial returns so we can diversify our revenue streams and grow our impact, but it’s more strategic than that alone. We see the establishment, growth and success of Australia’s first Indigenous-owned energy retailer as continuing to blaze a trail in industries where First Nations businesses are either absent or underrepresented.’

Australian philanthropist, businessman and former Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry President, Peter McMullin AM also supported the successful capital raise and said ‘Yurringa Energy takes an investment approach to ‘closing the gap’ for First Nations Australian’s. I strongly believe this investment approach is something we all need to get behind and support. One thing any government, industry or commercial business needs to do is purchase energy. Why not use that procurement power to drive economic outcomes and employment for First Nations people? It’s a classic win-win.’

Yurringa Energy is Australia’s first Indigenous-owned energy retailer. Driving First Nations leadership in Australia’s energy sector for commercial, industrial and business customers nation-wide. Powering a greener future with First Nations innovation, cost-competitive pricing, reliable and compliant energy supply.

Yurringa Energy is a proudly Supply Nation and Kinaway Chamber of Commerce certified First Nations business. Federation Enterprises is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations – the statewide Victorian body progressing Traditional Owners’ collective rights and interests through policy, advocacy and consensus-building.

Big News - Yurringa Energy to Power Suburban Rail Loop Construction

Yurringa Energy is proud to announce a further milestone in supporting Victoria’s major infrastructure program, the Big Build, with the award of an energy supply package for tunnelling on Suburban Rail Loop East being delivered by consortium Terra Verde.

Yurringa Energy will supply power to Terra Verde’s tunnel boring machines, enabling critical tunnelling works between Glen Waverley and Box Hill that will form part of one of Victoria’s most significant nation-building projects. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, reliability and delivering long-term value for all Victorians.

As Australia’s first and only First Nations–owned energy retailer, each new contract represents more than commercial growth, it marks tangible progress in reshaping an industry where First Nations participation has historically been limited or absent.

Building a start-up in the energy sector is inherently complex, and the support of partners who understand and actively back First Nations-led businesses is both valued and celebrated. These partnerships contribute to a broader, progressive movement that embeds First Nations companies and workforces at the core of Australia’s energy and infrastructure delivery.

Yurringa Energy is building a workforce and operating model that is genuinely first of its kind, one that demonstrates what is possible when inclusion, capability, and commercial excellence are aligned.

We look forward to working closely with Terra Verde as they deliver this critical component of the Suburban Rail Loop, and we thank them for their leadership in supporting innovation and First Nations economic participation within Australia’s infrastructure sector.

Yurringa Energy Founder and Executive Chairman Daniel Briggs said ‘Yurringa Energy is proudly First Nations owned and we are a leader in providing employment opportunities for First Nations people in our company, but this only happens by having profitable, financially sustainable First Nations businesses. It's pleasing that Yurringa Energy came out on top through a very competitive tendering process.’

Terra Verde Supply Chain Director, Peter Bolanis said ‘We ran a comprehensive tender process in the market. The selection of Yurringa Energy is a testament to their ability to compete with the big players and provide a solution that ultimately means success to the project.'
