Background:
Infigen, formerly known as Babcock & Brown Wind Partners (BBW), was initially formed in June 2003 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in October 2005. On 29 April 2009, at an Extraordinary General Meeting, securityholders approved the name change to Infigen Energy.
The name Infigen is derived from the words infinite and generation: infinite reflecting the unlimited availability of renewable fuel sources such as wind; and generation relating to the core function of Infigen’s business - renewable energy generation.
The Infigen identity is inspired by what we do as a business: we harness natural, renewable energy from the environment. The ‘Energised Landscape’ represents the abundance of natural, sustainable energy and also hints at the scale of opportunity for Infigen’s business growth. Positioned on the horizon of this landscape is the ‘Infigen Window’ that symbolises the harnessing of this limitless energy source.
Infigen Energy's new ASX code is IFN.
