What Avenis Energy does
Avenis Energy Pty Ltd is an Australian privately-held renewable energy project developer headquartered in Milsons Point, NSW. The company operates a ~10-person specialist team and develops utility-scale solar farms, wind farms, and lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across New South Wales and Victoria. Its current pipeline comprises eight projects totaling approximately 1,560MW of nameplate capacity, including 1,440MW of BESS across seven sites and a 120MW solar farm at Narrabri West. BESS sites use lithium-ion battery banks managed by Battery Management Systems that monitor voltage, current, power limits, and temperature, and solar projects employ horizontal single-axis tracking. Most projects are sited adjacent to existing high-voltage substations (e.g., TransGrid 330kV, Shepparton 220kV, Ballarat Terminal Station).
The business model is project development for sale or joint venture: Avenis secures land through long-term (30–50+ year) CPI-linked lease agreements with rural landowners at no cost or risk to the landowner, then progresses each site through site selection, community consultation, planning approvals, grid connection, design and engineering, to shovel-ready status, at which point the asset is sold or partnered with equity investors. The company is wholly Australian-owned, finances projects with its own development capital, and is led by Managing Directors Imran Sheikh and Simon Kerrison alongside Non-Executive Chair Mike Rand (founder of Bluefield). Customers are landowners (as counterparties) and the National Electricity Market (as the eventual off-take system); however, the paying counterparties are institutional equity investors and infrastructure funds that acquire shovel-ready projects. Two projects — Deniliquin and Moree BESS — have secured Development Consent from NSW planning authorities in 2025, materially advancing the pipeline toward transactable status.

Avenis Energy competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Origin Energy: Major Australian integrated energy retailer and generator with growing renewable development pipeline. Backed by Brookfield and developing utility-scale solar and storage in NSW/VIC.
- ENGIE Australia: Subsidiary of global utility ENGIE with a sizable Australian wind, solar, and BESS portfolio. Active in NSW and VIC renewable development with substantially more capital and resources.
- Iberdrola Australia: Australian subsidiary of Iberdrola (formerly Infigen Energy). Operates one of the largest renewable generation portfolios in Australia and competes for both greenfield development sites and operating assets.
Direct peers
- Neoen Australia: French independent power producer with a substantial Australian renewable and BESS portfolio including the Victorian Big Battery. Targets similar utility-scale solar, wind, and storage projects in NEM.
- Windlab: Australian wind energy developer with projects across multiple states (now partly under CWP). Direct comparable as a wind-focused developer in Australia, though windlab has historically been wind-only versus Avenis' multi-technology approach.
- CWP Renewables: Utility-scale wind and solar developer with significant NSW and Victorian portfolio, owned by Global Power Generation (Naturgy). Competes directly with Avenis for grid-connected sites and project pipeline.
- Edify Energy: Australian-owned renewable energy developer with a similar utility-scale solar and BESS pipeline in NSW and Queensland. Comparable project development model targeting shovel-ready status for sale to equity investors.
- TagEnergy Australia: Australian arm of European renewables developer TagEnergy, actively developing utility-scale wind, solar, and BESS projects in Australia including major NSW assets. Similar shovel-ready development-and-sale model.
