Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investments unit has launched Aula Energy, a new venture dedicated to securing long-term investment capital for onshore renewable energy projects.

Aula Energy marks the newest addition to Macquarie Asset Management’s array of specialized ventures aimed at facilitating the energy transition. This initiative complements platforms concentrating on global offshore wind, European solar, pan-Asian renewables, and standalone battery storage.

Key Takeaways from ConstructionFront.com: 

  • Despite the recent cuts from the Federal Government in infrastructure spending, the pipeline of projects and activity in the renewable energy sector in Australia remains strong.  
  • Australia has been working to create a robust legal framework for renewable and hydrogen energy initiatives, aiming to unlock investments in the area.

Leveraging Macquarie’s 17-year history of renewable energy investment, the venture unites a proficient local team adept at developing and commercializing onshore renewables.

With a focus on future energy demands, Aula Energy aims to construct, expand, and sustain a long-term business using cutting-edge capabilities to originate, develop, construct, and operate utility-scale wind, solar, and integrated battery projects across these markets.

Aula Energy also anticipates the development of assets in other Australian states, such as New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, which has recently approved the hydrogen and renewable energy bill. 

Notably, the company has highlighted the construction of Boulder Creek Wind Farm near Rockhampton (Queensland) is expected to commence in early 2024. According to the project’s website, the new farm will have up to 60 wind turbines generating circa 372MW.
