Invest in Community-Owned Solar, Battery and EV Charging Infrastructure
Helping regional towns build local renewable energy infrastructure, attract EV drivers, lower business energy costs and keep project income in the community.
This investment project gives local communities, businesses and aligned investors a practical way to own the energy infrastructure they need. By combining solar generation, battery storage and fast EV charging on suitable land near town centres and main roads, the project is designed to create new local revenue, support regional businesses and provide essential charging infrastructure for the growing EV market.
Why This Project Matters
- Regional towns can attract EV drivers, tourists and passing traffic who need reliable fast charging.
- Local businesses can access lower-cost energy through wholesale-linked supply arrangements.
- Project income can remain in the community instead of flowing to external infrastructure owners.
- Solar and battery assets can improve local energy resilience and create diversified revenue streams.
- The model can be scaled to suit smaller communities or larger regional townships.

How Investors Participate
Investors may participate through a special purpose vehicle established as a unit trust. Investors purchase units, and their equity contribution and entitlement to available distributions are linked to the number of units held. This creates a transparent structure where ownership, contribution and returns can be allocated proportionally while allowing investment levels to vary between participants.
