Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has launched a new subsidiary, Voyager Renewables, aimed at developing wind, solar, and energy storage projects across Australia. The new platform, based in Newcastle, has set a goal to deliver 6 GW of renewable energy capacity over the next decade.
Voyager Renewables currently owns three early-stage projects in Victoria and New South Wales and is also developing a series of battery storage systems to support Australia's National Electricity Market.
In New South Wales, the subsidiary is working on the Sunnyside project, a 450-MW wind farm in the South-West Renewable Energy Zone, and the Energy Oasis project, which will combine wind, solar, and battery storage, with a capacity of more than 2 GW.
Additionally, in Victoria, Voyager is investigating a large-scale wind and battery storage project in the western tablelands, estimated at approximately 1 GW.
CIP has been active in Australia since 2017, with investments including the Star of the South, the country's most advanced offshore wind project. With over 40 GW of active development opportunities, the company is positioning Voyager Renewables as a significant player in Australia's renewable energy sector.
