Answering Australia’s call for cleaner energy
At Vena Energy, we are dedicated to accelerating the energy transition in Australia, while contributing to the sustainability of our host communities, the preservation of the environment and biodiversity, and economic growth. In Australia, we own, develop, construct, operate, manage, and commercialise renewable energy projects totaling 227 MW, and a portfolio of onshore solar and wind, offshore wind, and energy storage totaling 6 GW across the country.
Featured Projects
Tailem Bend 2 Hybrid Project
South Australia
Solar 87 MW | BESS 41.5 MW
Vena Energy Australia’s first hybrid project which is capable of powering 35,000 homes with renewable energy generated from the 87 MW solar farm and will offer reliability to the grid by supplying energy storage through its connection at the Tailem Bend substation.
Blue Marlin Offshore Wind Project
Gippsland Coast, Eastern Victoria
2,000 MW
The Blue Marlin Offshore Wind Project is a proposed large-scale offshore wind farm with a total capacity of up to 2000 MW comprised of up to 140 wind turbines, located off the coast of Wellington Shire in Gippsland, Victoria. The Project is expected to be built across four stages with a capacity of 500 MW and up to 35 wind turbines per stage.
Wandoan South Solar 1
Queensland
125 MW
Wandoan South Solar Stage 1 will consist of 250,000 solar photovoltaic panels across 500 ha of the Wandoan South Project site and will have a maximum output of 125 MW. The Project, which is located in Woleebee, will produce 365 GWh of energy annually once operational.
Our Commitments
Sustainability is at the heart of all that we do at Vena Energy Australia. Inspired by our Latin namesake, Vena Energy Australia aims to become the vessel that accelerates the transition to renewable energy within Australia. We are committed to empowering and enriching our host communities, their environment and local economies.

Notes
- Households Powered is based on annual household electricity consumption of each operating country derived from Residential Electricity Consumption data obtained from the International Energy Agency (2020) and number of households data derived from population data from United Nations (2022) and household size data taken from United Nations (2022) and Statista database (2021).
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction is calculated assuming that the generation from renewable energy plants replaces an equal quantity of electricity generated using coal, gas and oil. Unique GHG emissions factors were calculated for each country based on each country’s GHG emissions factor published on the UNFCCC Harmonized IFI Default Grid Factors 2021 v3.2.
- Water Saved is calculated based on the water consumption of solar and wind power plants compared against the various sources of power generation in each country where Vena Energy operates in. Unique water savings factors were calculated for each country based on respective country energy mix obtained from International Energy Agency (2020-21) and water use intensity factors from a paper titled “Water Demand Scenarios for Electricity Generation at the Global and Regional Levels” by Terrapon-Pfaff, et al., (2020).
- Equivalent Cars Removed from the Road is based on annual GHG emissions of passenger vehicles obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, last updated: April 2023.
- Equivalent Trees Planted is based on the amount of GHG sequestered by a medium growth coniferous or deciduous tree, planted in an urban setting and allowed to grow for 10 years, data obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency website, last updated: April 2023.
