Good neighbours,
long-term locals.

We're a South Australian battery storage company, owned and operated by locals. We develop, build and operate community-scale batteries across regional SA - more than 20 sites across eight regions, representing around 100MW of capacity and a development program of over $130 million. We're not a contractor and we're not an equipment seller: we're the long-term partner who finds the site, secures the approvals, and builds the battery.

South Australia leads the world in rooftop solar - and all that daytime energy needs somewhere to go. Batteries on the local distribution network store solar where it's generated and return it to the same communities in the evening peak. That strengthens the local grid, reduces waste and helps keep the lights on across regional SA.

Big transmission-connected batteries do important work, but they can't fix a local network. Our sub-5MW batteries connect directly to SA Power Networks' distribution lines - the same poles and wires that serve your town. Many smaller batteries in the right places support the grid where support is actually needed, get built faster, and keep the benefits in the regions.

About half an acre - a fenced, screened compound in a corner of your property. Everything outside the fence continues exactly as it does today: cropping, grazing, whatever your land does now.

A secure, long-term lease income paid for decades - income that doesn't depend on the season, the rainfall or commodity prices. Every property is different, so we put a specific offer in writing after the free assessment, and we encourage you to take independent advice before signing anything.

Nothing. We fund the assessment, the network studies, the approvals, the construction, the insurance, the operation and the eventual removal of the battery. Your side of the partnership is the land and reasonable access - that's it.

An option agreement is a simple document that reserves the site while we do the detailed work - network studies with SA Power Networks and planning approvals. You're paid for the option period, and the long-term lease only begins if the project proceeds. We encourage every landowner to have the agreement reviewed by their own lawyer before signing - and we mean it.

Batteries operate for decades, and the lease matches the life of the project - typically 25 years or more, with the exact term set out clearly in your agreement.

Sometimes the network studies or approvals rule a site out - that's the risk we carry, not you. If a project doesn't proceed, the option ends, you keep any option payments made, and your land carries on unchanged.

Yes. The battery occupies only its fenced compound. Stock, cropping and machinery movements continue around it as normal. We design access tracks and the connection route with you so the project fits your operation, not the other way around.

The battery is monitored remotely around the clock, so visits are infrequent - scheduled maintenance and inspections, arranged with notice. You'll have a single, named local contact for the life of the project.

The lease is registered on the title and simply carries over - the income becomes part of what the next owner or the next generation receives. Many landowners see the lease as a long-term asset for succession planning. Your lawyer can walk you through exactly how it works for your circumstances.

Decommissioning is our responsibility, not yours. The equipment stays in our ownership for the whole of the lease - it never becomes part of your land. When the lease ends, we remove the batteries and associated equipment and reinstate the land to the condition it was in before we arrived, at our cost. That obligation is written into the lease every landowner signs with us. Batteries and components we remove are handled under Australian environmental law and, wherever a pathway exists, directed to reuse or recycling rather than landfill.

Fire is the question we're asked most, and it deserves a straight answer. Modern grid batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry - significantly more stable than earlier battery types - housed in outdoor units engineered to contain a fault within a single unit. Every site has detection systems, suppression systems and safe spacing between units, as well as an emergency response plan developed for the site.

The system is monitored remotely 24/7. If anything moves outside normal parameters, the battery shuts itself down automatically and our operations team is alerted immediately - day or night.

The compound is fully fenced and locked, with no public access. The battery emits no fumes or odours in normal operation, and there is no risk to stock grazing around the fence line. Site layouts include setbacks from homes and boundaries as part of the planning approval.

A neat, fenced compound of container-style units. Most sites are barely noticeable from the road. Visual treatment is part of every planning application.

We manage biosecurity the way a good neighbour should: vehicle and machinery hygiene protocols, agreed access routes, and construction traffic plans set with you and the council in advance. Construction of a community-scale battery is measured in months, not years, and the heavy movements are concentrated in a short window.

The units are sealed systems on engineered foundations, with site drainage designed as part of the approval. There are no emissions or discharges in normal operation, and the site is returned to its prior condition at end of life.

Your supply arrangements don't change - the battery connects to SA Power Networks' system, not to individual homes. What it does is strengthen the network everyone shares, storing local solar by day and supporting the local grid in the evening peak.

A named local contact, for every project, for the life of the project. If something's bothering you, we want the call.

From first conversation to an operating battery is typically 12 to 18 months, most of it in network studies and approvals rather than construction. We move as quickly as the process allows and we keep you informed at every milestone.

Two parallel processes: development approval through South Australia's planning system, and network connection approval through SA Power Networks. We fund and manage both.

Start with Our Projects for the pipeline: 20+ sites, ~100MW, eight SA regions, a $130m+ program, then contact us directly. We partner across the project lifecycle and we're always open to a conversation with aligned, long-term capital.
