Equis has launched a new brand for its Australian business, with GreenPoint Energy to oversee a 2.5-gigawatt portfolio of 12 battery energy storage systems (BESS) and wind assets.
“The launch of GreenPoint Energy represents the natural evolution of our Australian investment strategy,” Equis managing director and GreenPoint Energy chairman David Russell said.
“Since 2021, we have built a platform that has consistently outperformed competitors while avoiding the pitfalls constraining other market entrants – grid connection queues, planning lead times, contractor availability, and offtake competition.”
Russell said GreenPointEnergy would provide a “dedicated, highly focused Australian vehicle” to deliver the “energy infrastructure Australia needs to reach its 2030 and 2050 climate goals”.
This includes the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH), a 600-megawatt (MW)/1600MWh BESS delivered in partnership with SEC Victoria. MREH sits at the intersection of Victorian, New South Wales and South Australian energy networks, with 444 Tesla Megapack battery units providing grid stability in the National Electricity Market (NEM).
Reaching commercial operations in November 2025, MREH hosts the first operational four-hour BESS in the NEM.
Elsewhere, Greenpoint Energy is building its 250MW/500MWh Calala BESS in New South Wales, due to reach commercial operation in the first half (H1) of 2027, as well as its 200MW/800MWh Koolunga BESS in South Australia, due to reach commercial operation in 1H 2028.
GreenPoint Energy’s onshore wind portfolio comprises its 600MW Jackson North wind project in Queensland’s Western Downs Region, and the 190MW Bell Bay wind project in Tasmania.
Calala and Koolunga have both received support under the Federal Government’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), while Bell Bay is the only wind project in Tasmania to have secured CIS support.
