About Us
Spark Renewables is one of Australia’s leading developers and long-term owners of renewable energy generation assets.
Starting in 2018 with a single 120 MWdc solar farm, the potential generation capacity of our development portfolio has grown rapidly to span solar, wind and battery storage projects.
Our goal is to develop and build projects leading the renewable energy transition in Australia. We work with industry innovators and tertiary institutions to provide sustainable, socially acceptable solutions for generation of electricity.
Our purpose starts with sustainability. It is the reason we exist and fuels our drive to play our part in building Australia’s renewable energy future.
We're committed to doing what's right.
Our approach
We care about the land we build on, working closely with landowners, local communities and all levels of government to develop solutions that help decarbonise the energy sector, whilst also driving positive social and environmental outcomes at a local level.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we operate and are committed to supporting Reconciliation with First Nations people.
Commitment to best practice
Spark Renewables is a member of the Clean Energy Council and a signatory to the Council’s Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Projects. This is a set of voluntary commitments to engage respectfully with the communities around us, to be sensitive to environmental and cultural values, and to make a positive contribution to the regions in which we operate.
Pledge against modern slavery
Spark Renewables is a signatory to the Pledge Against Modern Slavery – developed by the Clean Energy Council as part of an industry-wide response to addressing modern slavery risks. The pledge commits Spark Renewables to practices designed to ensure our supply chain is free of adverse human rights impacts, including modern slavery, and declare its corporate responsibility to respect human rights.
Committed to Reconciliation
Spark Renewables is establishing a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan and is committed to creating lasting, positive change for Aboriginal communities. We acknowledge that setting a benchmark in the First Nations participation plans implemented for each of our projects is important to promote the economic empowerment of First Nations people.
