New platform aims for 6GW of onshore wind, solar, and storage
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, has launched a new platform company in Australia called Voyager Renewables through its Copenhagen Infrastructure V fund.
The new entity is a dedicated onshore renewable energy development player established to originate, develop and build new large-scale wind, solar and battery storage solutions across Australia.
CIP said Voyager Renewables is built with a clear focus on building and maintaining local partnerships that create value from the ground up. Its portfolio of projects aims to deliver 6GW of new capacity across the country over the next 10 years.
Among the sites in the pipeline are the 450MW Sunnyside, the 2GW+ Energy Oasis and the 1GW Western Tablelands wind farms.
Sunnyside is proposed in New South Wales’ South-West Renewable Energy Zone, while the Energy Oasis is an onshore wind project with co-located solar and a battery planned for western New South Wales.
The project would include high voltage transmission to connect large-scale energy solutions to the grid to decarbonise energy intensive industries by the mid-2030s.
Western Tablelands wind farm is in Victoria’s south-west, and would feature a co-located battery storage system.
CIP Australia partner and head Jorn Hammer added: “Voyager Renewables is part of CIP’s global strategy to invest in development platforms. As CIP’s onshore renewables company, Voyager Renewables will develop projects and build lasting partnerships with communities in Australia’s regions.” |
