AGL Energy (ISIN AU000000AGL7) was trading at AUD 8.45 on the ASX on October 8, 2026, up AUD 0.10 or 1.20 percent from the prior close. The company is also expanding its commercial solar business through a new 1.23 megawatt project for Bega Group.

Solar contract adds commercial scale

Australian Manufacturing reported on October 5, 2026, that Bega Group will install more than 2,400 rooftop panels at its Western Sydney manufacturing site under an AGL partnership.

The system is designed to reduce electricity-related carbon emissions by 9 percent in its first year. AGL will build, own and operate the installation through a 15-year power purchase agreement, giving the customer renewable power without an upfront capital investment.

FY26 earnings set the benchmark

At its October 1, 2026 annual meeting, AGL reported FY26 underlying net profit after tax of AUD 631 million and underlying EBITDA of AUD 2.1 billion. The company also confirmed a fully franked FY26 dividend of AUD 0.50 per share, including a final payment of AUD 0.26.

FY27 underlying net profit guidance spans AUD 470 million to AUD 670 million, compared with the AUD 631 million achieved in FY26. The EBITDA range of AUD 1.9 billion to AUD 2.2 billion brackets the prior year's AUD 2.1 billion result.
