The story of
Tilt Renewables
Our Name
We take our name from the way wind turbines tilt to catch the wind and solar panels tilt towards the sun.
Our passion for rebalancing electricity generation, combined with our fresh approach, has seen us engage with communities to build real and sustained support for what we’re doing, and deliver industry leading transactions that have tilted the energy sector towards a better, renewables-dominated future. We’re genuine about our commitment to renewables, and that’s why it’s in our name.
Our Identity
Our logo is straightforward, just as we promise to be. It is derived from wind direction and the sun’s rays. The combination of blue skies and yellow rays combine to create our positive green brand colour.
The lean of Tilt is a nod to our attitude. Tilt Renewables does things differently to provide benefits to our communities, great jobs for our employees and sustainable returns for our shareholders.
Our business is serious, but we also have fun, establish strong relationships and feel good about what we do.
In our partnerships we look to take the angle that makes it work for both parties.
Our Renewables
Wind
Generating power from the wind is the cornerstone of our business. It is the biggest contributor to the clean energy we provide to Australia.
Solar
Our solar energy projects continue to grow as we harness the power of the Australian sun. Our two solar projects are Broken Hill and Nyngan
Battery
Our most recent investment into Australia’s Renewable Future is storing clean energy at our battery farm which is under construction in the La Trobe Valley.
Our Journey
Embarking on a mission to forge meaningful connections within our communities, engage our exceptional team, and deliver value to our stakeholders, we have always set our sights on a future defined by sustainability and progress.
In October 2016, Tilt Renewables emerged as a dynamic force in the renewable energy landscape after a successful demerger from Trustpower. With an impressive track record of spearheading eleven renewable project developments, we established a portfolio spanning Australia and New Zealand. Our total capacity reached 500 MW, complimented by a further 336 MW being commissioned, and a credible development pipeline exceeding 5 GW. Notable projects such as Salt Creek Wind Farm, Dundonnell Wind Farm, and Waipipi Wind Farms showcased our commitment to innovation and excellence.
A pivotal moment in our evolution transpired in 2021 when Powering Australian Renewables, an influential renewable energy platform dedicated to driving large-scale projects across Australia, acquired the Australian assets and operations of Tilt Renewables. This strategic partnership, a collaboration between Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC), Future Fund, and AGL Energy, marked a milestone in the industry, bringing with it the investment in four generation assets encompassing solar and wind energy, with a combined capacity of 807 MW.
Tilt Renewables listed on NZX and ASX following demerger from Trustpower. Tilt Renewables held Australian and New Zealand wind and solar assets.
