What Renewable Energy Partners does

Renewable Energy Partners (REP) is an Australian privately held renewable energy project developer founded in 2016 and headquartered in Brisbane. The company specialises in the origination and early-to-mid-stage development of large-scale, grid-connected renewable energy and storage projects in Australia, operating exclusively as a development business rather than EPC, OEM, or asset owner. Its pipeline exceeds 10GW of generation capacity and 15,000MWh of storage across solar (1,800MW), wind (5,400MW), pumped hydro (1,250MW), and battery energy storage systems, with active projects in Queensland and NSW and emerging opportunities in Victoria.

REP offers three core services: Origination (screening demand, land, resource, connection, and approvals to identify viable sites), Development Management (driving projects from concept through Financial Close, including land access, connection agreements, resource validation, technical development, and statutory approvals), and Project Financing (sourcing offtake or availability payments and capital to fund development and construction). Technical capabilities include deployment of LiDAR-based wind resource measurement to inform turbine layout and energy yield assessments, and multi-technology integration combining wind, solar, pumped hydro, and BESS within individual energy hubs to deliver dispatchable renewable energy with long-duration storage.

The business model is a hybrid of professional development fees, transaction-related facilitation income, and retained equity stakes that monetise upon financial close or via ongoing asset returns. REP serves three primary customer sets: institutional clean energy investors (e.g., Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Cubico Sustainable Investments, QIC) who take project equity; grid operators and National Electricity Market participants needing new dispatchable capacity; and large commercial and industrial energy consumers seeking long-term PPAs. Distribution is entirely enterprise-direct and relationship-based, with long 3–7 year development cycles requiring multi-stakeholder engagement across landowners, traditional owners, councils, and government agencies.

Core offering

REP originates, develops, finances, and constructs utility-scale renewable energy projects across Australia, spanning solar farms, wind farms, pumped hydro storage, and battery energy storage systems. The company delivers three integrated services — origination, development management, and project financing — taking projects from concept and site identification through feasibility, environmental and planning approvals, design, connection, and into financial close and construction. Active development portfolio exceeds 10 GW of renewable generation and 15,000 MWh of storage across Queensland and broader NEM-connected regions.

Product overview

Renewable Energy Partners (REP) operates as a project development company offering a portfolio of renewable energy projects across multiple technologies. The core offering consists of large-scale grid-connected projects including solar farms (Hopeland Solar Farm at 250MW), wind farms (Wambo Wind Farm at 500MW+, Karma Wind Farm at 500MW+, Milli Wind Farm at 250-350MW, Lake Dalrymple Wind Farm at 1,000MW+, Chahpingah Wind Farm at 800MW), and pumped hydro storage (Capricornia Pumped Hydro at 750MW/12GWh). REP also develops multi-technology energy hubs combining solar, wind, and battery storage (Bogunda Energy Hub, Wandoan Energy Hub), and standalone battery projects (Ulinda Park Battery at 150MW/300MWh). The company provides three core services: Origination (identifying viable projects through demand, land, resource, connection and approvals analysis), Development Management (managing projects from concept through Financial Close), and Project Financing (sourcing offtake and capital). REP's total portfolio exceeds 10GW of renewable energy generation and 15,000MWh of storage.

Direct peers

• Tilt Renewables (Mercury NZ): Tilt Renewables was an Australian/NZ wind and solar developer acquired by Mercury NZ in 2021. Historically a direct competitor in the Australian wind development market with overlapping geographies (Victoria, NSW, SA).
• Genex Power: Australian renewable energy developer focused on pumped hydro and battery storage (most notably the 250 MW Kidston Pumped Hydro). Now owned by APA Group after a ~A$522M acquisition. Directly comparable as a multi-technology Australian developer with significant pumped hydro exposure.
• TagEnergy: Australia/UK based renewable energy developer developing utility-scale wind, solar and storage projects including the 1.5 GW Golden Plains Wind Farm. Comparable as a multi-technology developer operating in the Australian market.
• Squadron Energy: Australian utility-scale wind, solar and storage developer owned by Minderoo (Twiggy Forrest). Portfolio exceeds several gigawatts of renewables across Australia. Directly comparable as a large multi-technology Australian renewable project developer.

Broad incumbents

• AGL Energy: One of Australia's largest energy companies, with significant coal, gas, wind, and solar assets and large-scale storage projects planned. Comparable as a major NEM participant but with broader incumbent operations than REP's developer-only model.
• Iberdrola Australia (formerly Infigen Energy): Australian subsidiary of Iberdrola, operating significant wind and solar generation assets. Comparable as a major renewable incumbent in the Australian market, though broader in scope and asset-heavy rather than development-focused.
• Origin Energy: ASX-listed Australian energy major with growing renewable generation portfolio alongside legacy generation and retail operations. Comparable as a major energy participant in NEM but broader in scope than REP's pure-play developer model.
• APA Group: Australia's largest natural gas infrastructure operator and major owner of the Genex Power pumped hydro portfolio. Comparable as an energy infrastructure owner participating in Australia's energy transition with broader incumbent operations.

Others

• Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners: Global clean energy infrastructure fund manager and one of REP's core co-development partners (Bowen Renewable Energy Hub via Copenhagen Infrastructure IV). Comparable as a renewable infrastructure capital provider in the same Australian market, though structurally a capital partner/investor rather than an originator-developer.
