Renewable energy developer Equis has announced the launch of a new, wholly owned subsidiary called GreenPoint Energy (GPE), that will continue to progress the company’s 2.5 gigawatt portfolio of big batteries and wind farms across Australia.
The original Equis, a Singapore-based company that built South Australia’s first solar farm at Tailem Bend, among other projects, was bought by Global Infrastructure Partners in 2018 and later renamed Vena Energy.
Since returning to Australia in 2022, Equis has taken its portfolio from 800 MW of wind projects in Tasmania and five battery energy storage systems (BESS) across four states, to where it stands now, at 12 BESS and wind assets spanning every National Electricity Market (NEM)-connected state.
Among the company’s biggest projects has been the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH), the 600 megawatt (MW), 1,600 megawatt-hour BESS that was delivered into full commercial operations in November 2025 in partnership with the Victorian government-owned State Electricity Commission (SEC).
Another two batteries are under construction: the 250 MW/500 MWh Calala BESS in New South Wales, which is due to reach commercial operation in the first half of 2027; and the 200 MW/800 MWh Koolunga BESS in South Australia, due to power up in 2028. While a 200 MW, four-hour project is in the earlier stages in Queensland.
