Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation opens EOI for long-term renewable energy partnerships with commercial and industrial consumers

Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation is proactively de-risking its substantial 3 GW renewable energy development pipeline in Western Australia by soliciting long-term partnerships with commercial and industrial consumers. This Expression of Interest for Project Baru Marnda and the Chichester Range Transmission Corridor (CRTC) seeks to secure future demand early in the development stage. The partnership model suggests YEC and ACEN Australia are looking beyond standard power purchase agreements, potentially offering tailored solutions or co-investment opportunities to Western Australian businesses. This approach aims to provide stable, long-term renewable energy supply, addressing the specific needs of the local C&I sector. Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation, a 50/50 joint venture between the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation and ACEN Australia, is directly advancing its mandate to develop up to 3 GW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity through this EOI. For ACEN Corporation, the listed energy platform of the Ayala Group, this move solidifies its strategy to accelerate the energy transition within the Asia Pacific region by developing and operating renewable energy projects. The focus on Western Australian commercial and industrial consumers positions ACEN Australia to capture a specific segment of the regional energy market. This development stage partnership, announced on 2026-03-10, demonstrates a commitment to securing demand for future generation assets.
