List of the 100 largest Australian renewable energy developers [2025]

Description

List of 3 large renewable energy developers in Australia

Renewable energy is an increasingly important part of Australia’s energy mix. With high solar exposure, vast land areas, and strong wind resources both onshore and offshore, the country is well-positioned to expand its clean energy capacity. As of 2024, renewable sources supply around 40% of Australia’s electricity, supporting over 20,000 jobs. Central to this growth are the developers building and operating key infrastructure. This article profiles three of the largest renewable energy developers active in Australia today.

Renewable energy developers in Australia

Almost every large-scale renewable energy installation in Australia is based on the work of a renewable energy developer. Developers acquire land plots, realize the installation of PV panels or wind energy generators, connect the installation to the grid, and subsequently sell it to renewable energy investors. Our list is the most extensive database of Australian renewable energy developers and gives a great overview of companies with a renewable energy project pipeline.
