In March 2011, due to a deleveraging transaction by the TPG Group, Alinta became Alinta Energy.[3] Alinta Energy was acquired by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises in 2017. Chow Tai Fook Enterprises also acquired Loy Yang B power station with assists from Alinta Energy staff.[4][5]

In May 2018, Alinta Energy was announced as the principal partner of the Australian Men's cricket team on a four-year deal, the longest in Australian Cricket history.[6][7] The Alinta Energy logo will feature on the players' kits for all international matches played in Australia.

gollark: You may laugh, but side channel attacks are a real and problematic thing!
gollark: HASKELL PROGRAMMERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW: all Haskell programs are impure because they have measurable side effects like power draw, execution time and even electromagnetic radiation emitted from the circuits or whatever.
