People Energy is a privately held company established in 2012, but it is unknown whether the company is wholly Australian owned. The head office is located in Melbourne, Victoria, and neither the organisation nor its product are carbon neutral.
As People Energy does not generate the electricity they sell, nor do they own any power generation plants, they are most likely supplied by the National Electricity Market. This means their product is from a mix of renewable and non-renewable sources.
