About us

We don’t just write about energy – we ignite it.

For almost 20 years, Energy Source & Distribution magazine has been the voice of Australia’s electricity generation, transmission and distribution industry. In 2016 the name the sector trusts went online to deliver news as it happens.

Energy Source & Distribution is directed at the senior executives, managers and engineers involved with utilities, policy development bodies, research and training institutions, manufacturers and suppliers. It offers the latest energy news and profiles the power players, product launches, industry trends and major projects that keep the sector moving at an unprecedented rate.

Energy Source & Distribution is owned and produced by The Magazine Publishing Company (TMPC). The Brisbane-based family business produces award-winning business-to-business magazines, trade journals and custom publications.

TMPC was born in 1986 under the direction of founder Trevor Kirk. Today, the business is run by Trevor’s son Alan, who continues to take the company from strength to strength. TMPC has earned a swag of trophies at the prestigious Bell Awards, The Tabbie Awards and Publishers Australia Excellence Awards, including Best Printed Annual Publication, Best Directory, Best Opening Spread, Best Business to Business (B2B) Magazine Cover, and Best Designer. This makes TMPC the most awarded publisher in Queensland.

The company recently entered three award categories in the 2015 Tabbie Awards alongside more than 400 editorial and design entries from across the globe, and was thrilled to bring home not one but three gold awards out of the six design awards up for grabs. TMPC took out first place in the Opening Page or Spread category for The Australian Retailer, Front Cover Special Issue for UDIA NSW Austral Bricks Awards for Excellence 2014, and Feature Design for Baking Business.

Baking Business also won gold award in the 2014 Tabbie Awards. TMPC’s UDIA National Awards for Excellence issue also received a gold award in the design category Front Cover Special Issue, adding yet another feather to the hat of this exceptional annual publication.
