PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

CETF has secured long-term energy offtake via a portfolio of projects across the National Energy Market. This includes 250MW of existing offtake via an operating wind asset portfolio, as well as several large battery energy storage projects (under development) in multiple locations.

CETF’s current portfolio includes eight wind projects with a combined 250MW (approx) of capacity in Victoria.  

To realise sustained growth in our renewables portfolio, we constantly seek to attract new investment in order to broaden our balance sheet and improve our credit risk profile.

As we seek to grow the fund, we are constantly examining new projects and products to diversify our portfolio and improve returns to investors.

Thinking Smarter

Success is not always a function of size and scale. It’s about thinking smarter about the solutions to complex problems, and then taking the action necessary to deliver them. 

At CETF, we believe we have a central role to play in hastening Australia’s progress towards net zero. 

The current energy transition is not going to be linear, and so delivering an optimised pathway to net zero is not just about flooding the market with more assets. It’s about ensuring that those assets perform efficiently and integrate effectively across the entire network. 

This requires different thinking, and at CETF we’re working to align current market challenges with smarter solutions that can optimise the effectiveness of capital allocation and generate robust investment returns.

POWER PURCHASE
AGREEMENT STRUCTURE

CETF negotiates traditional, long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with medium-to-large renewable energy project developers, which enables them to secure high-quality debt on the best available terms across the National Electricity Market in Australia.

CETF also negotiates long-term offtake agreements (in various forms) for large-scale and distributed battery energy storage projects that help to support Australia’s energy transition.

Why partner
with us?

Renewable energy in Australia is fast becoming more cost competitive when compared with non-renewable sources of energy, and far more competitive than new-build thermal generation.

Securing affordable finance is key, but the quality of the development finance that is capable of being secured by renewable energy projects is directly correlated to the quality of the long-term revenue streams attached to them. That’s CETF’s role. As your long-term offtake partner, we perform the vital function necessary to support new project development.   

We then trade that offtake directly into Australian wholesale electricity markets to generate returns for investors.

Energy Offtake Agreements

Fit-for-purpose energy offtake agreements are needed to support renewable energy projects because they provide the revenue certainty that clean energy generators need to secure development finance.

We enter into long-term energy offtake agreements with medium-to-large renewable energy project developers, which enables them to secure high-quality debt on the best available terms.

Through long-term, fixed-price offtake agreements, greenfield projects can secure the necessary project finance to start construction, while existing (operating) projects can seek to be refinanced on better terms.
