Wind Energy Explained
In Australia, wind energy has become a major contributor to our electric power supply. Avenis Energy is currently developing a pipeline of new and strategically significant wind energy projects.

Below is an introductory overview to the typical steps involved with developing and operating a wind farm, along with some answers to commonly asked questions.
How do wind farms work?

The most noticeable feature of a wind farm are generally its turbines: tall towers with spinning blades. Wind turbines capture wind energy within the area covered by their blades, with their spinning motion driving an electrical generator to produce electricity, which is then transmitted to the grid. A wind farm will generally have multiple turbines.

Wind turbines rotate at speeds ranging from 12 to 25 meters per second – and many modern turbines operate at variable speeds, adjusting in response to changing wind conditions to optimise efficiency.

Components of a wind turbine
3,000
homes are powered by one turbine. The amount of electricity a turbine can produce (its maximum capacity) is measured in megawatts (MW). Generating power at the rate of 1 MW for 1 hour equals 1 megawatt hour (MWh) of energy. To put this in context, an average Australian household uses about 6 MWh of electricity per year.
WHAT WE DO
Cleaner energy. Brighter future.

We handle every aspect of front-end development for large-scale renewable energy projects — from identifying suitable land to project approvals, grid connections to community consultation. And we do all this at no cost or risk to landowners.

WHY WORK WITH US

The right people
for real value

We care about what we do and who we do it with. Integrity, transparency and honest conversation are as valuable to our business as the time and capital we invest to make things happen. We seek to create enduring relationships with project partners that ensure mutual success, bringing everyone from landowners to local communities on the journey to transform paddocks into clean, green power.

A wealth of benefits

We help to de-risk and diversify agricultural operations by converting option-to-lease opportunities into long-term income-generating streams – all costs covered. By partnering with us, landowners receive a ‘passive’ income (circa 5 years), long-term financial security and a chance to play a part in transforming the nation’s energy landscape.

Dedicated &
dynamic experts

As experts in our field, we combine international insights and domestic experience to confidently take projects from conception to shovel-ready status — developing large-scale solar and Battery Energy Storage projects that deliver clean, green energy into our national transmission network.

Market ready.
No surprises.

When it comes to our projects, we’ve done our homework. With a diligence and rigour that’s second to none, we invest the effort to know everything there is to know about our sites –from in-depth site screening and detailed land mapping, to our thorough knowledge of evolving regulations. When the time comes, we’re ready to go to market with no surprises.

Nimble by nature

Our small team of carefully assembled specialists ensures Avenis is never caught off guard. We’re responsive to market and regulatory changes and quick to disclose when things do. Our ability to be flexible and willingness to communicate openly is what forms the foundations of long-term landowner relationships.

Proudly Australian
owned & financed

As an independent Australian developer, we’re solely focused on powering the renewable transition on home soil. Backed by the considerable financial strength of local development funding, we commit our own capital to each project we embark on, ensuring the highest level of integrity and a vested, enduring interest in its success.
