Utility-Scale Advisory

Capital-markets thinking, applied to utility scale renewables.

We advise developers, asset owners, and institutional investors on utility scale solar and battery energy storage projects. Brokering, structuring, connection pathway management, and offtake origination, delivered with the same capital discipline that underpins our PPA platform.

How we engage

Utility scale projects sit at the intersection of engineering, capital, and regulatory complexity. We bring all three to the table. Our advisory practice was built out of the capabilities developed across a decade of behind-the-meter delivery and PPA origination, applied to projects measured in megawatts and megawatt-hours rather than kilowatts. We engage in three primary capacities.

Brokering

Acting as intermediary on the sale, acquisition, or co-investment of utility scale assets. We bring counterparties together, structure the transaction, and manage the process through to completion.

Project structuring and capital advisory

Advising on capital structure, offtake design, and risk allocation. Working with sponsors, financiers, and institutional investors on terms that hold up through development, construction, and operation.

Connection and compliance pathway management

Managing the technical and regulatory pathway from grid application through Connection Agreement and Generator Performance Standard submission. We work directly with network service providers, AEMO, and the relevant network operators.

Hunter-Central Coast REZ BESS

Brokering role on a 240MW / 480MWh battery energy storage system in the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone. Generator Performance Standard submitted late 2025, Connection Agreement expected end of CY2026.

Embedded generation assessments

Connection feasibility and assessment work across NSW, VIC, and SA distribution networks, for embedded generation projects ranging from large C&I through to mid-scale utility.

Multi-site portfolio structuring

Capital and offtake structuring advice for national C&I portfolio rollouts, where the underlying assets aggregate to utility scale exposure.

Who we work with

Our advisory clients fall into three groups.

Developers and sponsors

Project developers who need a partner with both engineering depth and capital-markets fluency. We help shape the project narrative, structure the capital stack, and navigate the connection pathway.

Asset owners and operators

Owners of utility scale solar, storage, or hybrid assets seeking strategic advice on offtake optimisation, refinancing, divestment, or portfolio expansion.

Institutional investors

Family offices, infrastructure funds, and institutional capital allocators seeking sector-specific advisory on Australian renewable energy opportunities.

Why our practice is different

Engineering and capital, held by one team.

Most utility scale advisors come from a pure finance or pure engineering background. We sit deliberately in the middle. That positioning matters when a transaction or a connection pathway runs into trouble. We can model the IRR, redesign the offtake, and resolve the technical issue in the same conversation, because the same team holds all three capabilities. Clients tell us this is the single largest source of value we bring.

We are also family office backed, which lets us take a longer view on relationships and engagements than is typical in our segment. Mandates that other advisors would walk away from on commercial grounds, we will often see through because the long-term strategic value is clear.
