OUR
INVESTMENT
APPROACH

CETF is an Australia-based energy trading business with a focus on returns.

We enable high-quality renewable energy projects to secure the  funding necessary to get off the ground.

We provide the revenue security required for renewables projects through traditional, bankable power purchase agreements (PPAs), which help to secure funding on the best available terms for medium and large clean energy developers across the National Electricity Market in Australia.

As a sophisticated offtake counterparty, we are able to execute on agreements that match the needs and requirements of project proponents.

We currently manage offtake volumes worth more than A$100M.

We also practise multi-market risk management.

By leveraging traditional and non-traditional financial markets to manage price and volume variability, we believe that we have the potential to realise uncorrelated returns for investors and provide more innovative risk transfer and management to market participants than traditional options.

Risk management approach

The CETF minimises risk by hedging over three growth pillars:

Financing Development

We support the development of new renewables projects by negotiating long-term power purchase agreements that are essential for renewable energy project developers to secure project finance.

Project
Investments

We invest directly in high-quality renewable energy projects.

Portfolio
Management

We deal in OTC contracts, trade futures and secure weather derivatives to manage volume and price risks across our portfolio.
