Hepburn Wind

What Hepburn Wind does

Hepburn Wind, trading as Hepburn Energy, is a community-owned renewable energy cooperative structured as Hepburn Community Wind Park Co-operative Ltd (ABN 87572206200), based in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 2006, it serves residential, commercial, and SME customers exclusively within Hepburn Shire, offering 100% locally-sourced renewable electricity through a community electricity offer administered by licensed retailer Flow Power. The cooperative's underlying technology comprises community-scale wind and solar generation assets supplemented by battery storage and EV charging infrastructure, integrated into a single community energy ecosystem.

The business model is a member-owned cooperative: customers can register online to switch to Hepburn Energy's renewable electricity offer, and community members hold ownership stakes, with margins reinvested into local initiatives rather than distributed to external shareholders. Go-to-market is community-led, anchored by the website, Instagram and Facebook presence, community energy park tours, an email newsletter, and the dedicated Electrify program and Impact Fund sub-brands that channel activity into local climate action.

The product portfolio spans Residential, Commercial, and SME electricity offers, generation assets (Wind, Solar, Battery, EV), cooperative membership, a retail shop, and community engagement services. The company employs 1-10 people and has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries; the entity is community-funded and structured under Australian cooperative law with revenue figures not publicly disclosed.
