Our Approach
With a successful track record of more than 20 projects across Australia, we are a proven partner in renewable energy project development.
How We Deliver
We have extensive experience across the development value chain from securing investment to operations and maintenance.

“We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land and take great pride in engaging with local communities throughout the lifecycle of each of our projects."
Our core business lies in co-locating renewable projects with existing infrastructure, enabling efficient use of resources while prioritizing stakeholders’ needs. We work closely with landholders, ensuring projects are sited on less productive land, balancing agricultural requirements with sustainable energy development.
We excel in project planning and environmental due diligence, leveraging deep expertise to incorporate lessons from comprehensive land evaluations into every project. This proactive approach ensures we meet high standards of environmental and operational excellence.
Our expertise extends across large-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) developments, delivering reliable, grid-scale renewable energy solutions. With over 1.1GW of projects successfully delivered, we are leaders in utility-scale development. As pioneers in the sector, we were the first to secure Victorian approval for two BESS projects with a combined capacity of 350MW in 2021.
Throughout our development process, we prioritize honesty and transparency in community engagement. We maintain open, clear communication with local residents and stakeholders, ensuring they are informed and involved at every stage. This commitment helps foster trust and lasting positive relationships with the communities we serve, while ensuring our projects meet the highest standards of social responsibility.

“A vital enabler of the successful deployment of renewable projects is selecting the locations where the operation of generation and storage projects would work in concert with the network.”
At ACEnergy, our approach for selecting locations for renewable projects involves thoroughly analysing the grid's physical characteristics and the load's behaviour, utilising publicly available information and site surveys.
The process begins by selecting areas with network assets sufficiently rated to support generation and storage of the intended capacity. This also involves assessing historical energy flows and long-term forecasts to estimate growth trends and ensure an accurately sized generation or storage asset will add value to the network with minimum risk of curtailment.
We have significant experience with grid connection processes and interacting with Network Service Providers (NSP) in Victoria and New South Wales. Our successful track record of connecting solar generation demonstrates our capability to progress through the grid connection process within the minimum time allowed by NSP processes. Our in-house grid integration and design teams reduce reliance on external consultants, helping mitigate resource risk during the connection process.

“We’re not just developers, we’re committed partners in Australia’s journey towards a sustainable energy future.”
At ACEnergy, our deep commitment to Australia’s renewable energy transition is at the heart of everything we do. We understand the critical role of strong, strategic partnerships in driving the sector forward. Our focus is clear, we exclusively develop solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS) throughout the Network Electricity Market.
We seek to align with investors who share our vision and commitment to the transition. These investors range from local communities and government to large corporations, private equity investors and commercial banks.
Taking a long-term view of our projects is fundamental to our approach. By retaining equity shares, we ensure long-term success and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our projects and Australia’s clean energy future.
