About Neoen in Australia
Since 2012, Australia has been a key territory for Neoen. We have developed and built more than 4.5 GW of wind, solar and storage projects and are targeting more than 5 GW capacity in operation or under construction by early 2026 and an additional 5 GW by 2030. Our development efforts in Australia started paying‐off in late 2014, when the government of the ACT granted Neoen the majority of the capacity at stake in its tender process, enabling us to deliver the wind power project of Hornsdale, which gradually increased to a capacity of 309 MW.
Neoen has delivered 20+ assets under construction, commissioning, and operation in most states/territories:
* SA: the 3 Hornsdale wind farms, the 150MW/194MWh Hornsdale Power Reserve and the 200MW/400MWh Blyth Battery; operational but still under construction: the 209MW Goyder South 1A Wind Farm and the 204MW Goyder South 1B Wind Farm, which together form the largest wind farm operated by Neoen worldwide.
* WA: the 219MW/877MWh and 341MW/1,363MWh Collie 1 and Collie 2 Batteries and as its first project decommissioned the Degrussa Solar Project; Muchea BESS (164MW / 905 MWh) has started construction in Q2 25.
* NSW/ACT: in operation: five solar farms (the 188MWp Coleambally Solar Farm and the 4 "ARENA" solar farms in Parkes, Griffith and Dubbo totaling 130MWp) and the Capital BESS (118MW / 200MWh, Doosan technology); currently under construction the 440MWp Culcairn Solar Farm.
* VIC: a solar farm, the Bulgana wind farm (Gamesa technology) and the Victorian Big Battery (300MW/450MWh, Tesla technology) – all assets have been divested to HMC as a requirement by ACCC to allow the acquisition of Neoen by Brookfield in 2024.
* QLD: in operation: the Western Downs Solar farm (Australia's largest solar PV facility, 460MWp), the 156 MW Kaban wind farm (Vestas technology), and the 2 × 200MW/400MWh Western Downs Batteries (Tesla technology).
Neoen has offices located in Sydney and Canberra (main offices) as well as in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
