ANZA Power secures US$300 million from I Squared for Australia-New Zealand portfolio

Energy-Storage.News · last updated

 ANZA Power will combine diversified clean energy sources, including renewables, BESS and natural gas, to deliver reliable energy solutions to commercial and industrial customers across both countries.

Advanced-stage projects within the Australian portfolio include 80MWac/320MWh of solar-hybrid plants located in Victoria and New South Wales, secured by long-term, 20-year agreements with a tier one hyperscale customer, creating revenue certainty that will enable further scale and investment in lasting energy infrastructure.

In addition, ANZA Power expects to begin construction of an additional 80MW of renewable energy assets across Australia and New Zealand in the first half of 2026.

The launch represents I Squared’s latest expansion in renewable energy markets, following significant investments in other regions.

In late 2024, the firm’s renewables platform Cube Green Energy acquired German agrivoltaics developer SUNfarming, with I Squared targeting to deploy over €500 million (US$581 million) capital expenditure into SUNfarming’s Agri-PV pipeline by 2028.

The German acquisition gave Cube Green Energy an early-mover advantage in Germany’s Agri-PV market, adding to a pipeline of close to 2GW of agrivoltaic capacity.

The investment reflects I Squared’s long-term conviction in the Asia-Pacific region and its strategy of building high-quality, locally anchored platforms that can grow alongside industrial and commercial customers. Since 2014, I Squared has committed US$7 billion to energy transition initiatives globally.
