20+ year battery pedigree
birdwood’s founders are pioneers investing in the battery sector with 20 years experience deploying battery technology, deep experience in battery investment business models, navigating regulatory matters in this new sector and understanding complex equipment deployment.
As part of this we see distributed energy is a key sector for the energy transition where we are deploying investments to fully utilise existing grid infrastructure to acccelerate the energy transition.
Engineering led investment
Our experience has taught us that many renewable assets- both generation and storage- require deep engineering led experience. At birdwood we aren’t just another investment fund - we are an engineering led investment team with 60%+ engineering team. We take a lifecycle view of the asset: designs are capital efficient, operations are managed in house to reduce costs and a full revenue stack is achieved led by our engineering expertise.
Investing at scale
birdwood is a specialist investor in the renewable sector. Our engineering-led investment team works will developers and companies in the sector to accerlerate their assets to construction and ownership by birdwood’s investment vehicles.
We complement developers and companies with our own birdwood team’s planning, grid, procurement, design and construction experience to rollup porftfolios of assets across the sector. This provides our investment vehicles with opportunities to assets at a scale across the entire sector which pension and superannuations funds are not able to access directly themselves.
This also, by deploying more capital faster, into the sector accelerates the energy infrastructure, in the countries we work in, to Net Zero as fast as possible.
Proven Technology
Almost weekly, another revolutionary break-through occurs in renewable technology. The truth is, we can have an immediate impact on climate change with the proven technology available in the market today
Finding the Value
Australia is a big country with a rich landscape of opportunities and risks. Each state requires a different approach when it comes to technology design and optimisation - hence our bottom up approach to find the value
