Atmos Renewables has long-term agreement to purchase Neoen’s controlling interest. This deal includes the landmark 316MW Hornsdale wind farm in South Australia, home to the world’s largest battery. This brilliant stroke of strategy means Atmos Renewables will own Hornsdale outright. We look forward to the transaction closing by the end of 2025. Despite being operational since 2017, the wind farm has faced multiple legal challenges. It is a key pillar in providing clean, renewable energy to the ACT government under a feed-in tariff contract.
The acquisition marks a significant expansion for Atmos Renewables, which already manages over 1.5GW of wind, solar, and battery assets across 18 projects throughout Australia. The company made its name by taking minority interests at all three stages of the Hornsdale project. This engagement demonstrates its deep dedication to the advancement of renewable energy in the Midwest.
Operational Growth and Future Plans
Atmos Renewables is executing on a mission-driven, ambitious growth strategy. They are focusing on increasing their core operating capacity and advancing capital capacity projects. The company just won a huge A$65 million (approx. $45.13 million) contract with GenusPlus Group. Under this agreement, ERM Power is designing and constructing the Merredin battery energy storage system (BESS) and associated substation works. This 100MW/400 megawatt-hour project is located in Western Australia as one of multiple smart and ambitious moves Atmos Renewables has made recently to strengthen the company’s nascent portfolio.
Atmos Renewables’ ongoing mission is to be the most trusted steward of clean energy assets while delivering value responsibly and efficiently, at scale. The company has a clearly impressive in-house management capacity of more than 1GW of clean energy assets. This sets it on a firm path to become a leader in Australia’s booming renewable energy sector.
“This is a milestone that reflects not just scale, but operational maturity. Managing more than 1GW of clean energy assets in-house signals that we’re here for the long haul and set up for further growth – with the people, systems and experience to operate responsibly and efficiently at scale.” – Atmos Renewables CEO Nigel Baker
Commitment to Community and Sustainability
Atmos Renewables knows that building and keeping healthy, positive, and respectful relationships with the communities and stakeholders these projects serve are a critical part of their success. As a result, they’re deepening their footprint in the renewable energy sector. Yet at the same time, they are deeply committed to providing energy reliably and establishing good relationships with their local communities.
Hornsdale wind farm produces lots of clean energy. It is vital to Australia’s efforts to move away from fossil fuels and harness renewable energy. Atmos Renewables hopes to continue playing an important role in accelerating this transition through cutting-edge work and thoughtful stewardship.
“As we grow, we remain focused on delivering energy reliably and continuing strong, respectful relationships with the communities and stakeholders who host our projects.” – Atmos Renewables CEO Nigel Baker
