Solar farms are quiet, with the same solar panels you would place on your roof – there are just more of them.

With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030.

Our goal is to own and operate our projects and as long-term neighbours, we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.

This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice. We have invested more than $4 billion in the Australian market and developed over 4 GW of renewable energy assets.
