ACEN Australia’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy is our roadmap to leading the energy transition with purpose—advancing renewable energy while caring for the environment, supporting our people, and partnering with communities. It brings focus to our most important sustainability priorities and embeds accountability across everything we do.
This strategy supports the delivery of the ACEN Corporation broader PositiveCharge Strategy.
We are playing a key role in accelerating Australia’s transition to a low-carbon future by responsibly growing our renewable energy portfolio. Our approach integrates climate action, resilience, and long-term sustainability into every stage of project development, construction, and operations—supporting a cleaner, more secure energy system for the regions where we operate.
We support ACEN’s global ambition to achieve net zero by aligning our operations, projects, and decision-making with carbon reduction pathways—driving emissions reductions across our portfolio. Review our ACEN Corporation Net Zero Targets.
We are strengthening the resilience of our assets by systematically identifying and assessing climate-related risks, ensuring that our infrastructure is designed and operated to adapt to a changing climate.
We are minimising water use and promoting responsible resource management through project-specific water efficiency plans across all new developments.
At ACEN Australia, building renewable energy projects is only part of the story. Equally important is how these assets are operated day to day. Across…
