Senior Project Land Developer
Tilt Renewables
Company Overview
Tilt Renewables Pty Ltd
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
2016
Approximately 150 employees (source: pfnexus.com). No public revenue figures disclosed due to private status post-2021.
What They Do
Tilt Renewables focuses primarily on wind and solar generation technologies, alongside battery energy storage systems (BESS), positioning itself as a developer, owner, and operator of large-scale renewable energy infrastructure (source: wikipedia.org). The company boasts a development pipeline exceeding 3,500 MW of wind, solar, and storage projects, which includes both operational assets and early-stage greenfield developments. Notably, Tilt Renewables has made significant acquisitions, such as solar sites in Queensland, which were noted in planning as early as 2017 (source: qic.com). Target markets include the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM), where they serve wholesale electricity buyers and support decarbonization through contracted revenue streams with counterparties like Origin Energy and Trustpower, which provide predictable cashflows from assets representing about 11% of Australasian installed wind capacity prior to the takeover (source: infratil.com). As Australia's largest private wind and solar generator, Tilt Renewables operates over 1,300 MW of capacity across nine assets, leveraging a high-quality pipeline and geographic diversity across states.
Projects & Track Record
Tilt Renewables has a robust portfolio of operational assets, including the Snowtown Wind Farm Stage 1 (98 MW, commissioned 2008, South Australia), Crookwell Wind Farm (5 MW, 8 GWh annual output, commissioned 1998, New South Wales), and the Dundonnell Wind Farm (336 MW, commissioned 2022, Victoria) (source: wikipedia.org). Other notable projects include the Coopers Gap Wind Farm (453 MW, Queensland), Silverton Wind Farm (199 MW, New South Wales), and the Nyngan Solar Plant (102 MW, New South Wales), collectively contributing to over 1,300 MW of operational capacity (source: qic.com). The company has also engaged in significant transactions, such as the sale of Snowtown Wind Farm Stage 2 to Palisade Investment Partners in December 2019 (source: wikipedia.org). Ongoing projects include the Rye Park Wind Farm (396 MW, New South Wales, expected commissioning in 2025), which is part of a broader pipeline exceeding 3,500 MW (source: infratil.com). This extensive project portfolio underscores Tilt Renewables' commitment to expanding its renewable energy footprint across Australia.
Recent Developments
The merger between PowAR and Tilt Renewables closed in August 2021, integrating Australian assets into a rebranded Tilt Renewables, which now boasts a capacity of 1,300 MW and a pipeline of over 3,500 MW, solidifying its position as Australia's top private renewables player (source: wikipedia.org). The Dundonnell Wind Farm reached full operation in 2022, contributing significantly to the company's operational capacity (source: wikipedia.org). In November 2025, AGL sold 19.9% of its stake to QIC and Future Fund, adjusting ownership to near-full control by the infrastructure funds (source: wikipedia.org). The Rye Park Wind Farm is expected to be commissioned in 2025, further enhancing Tilt Renewables' capacity and market presence (source: wikipedia.org). Despite the lack of recent acquisitions or funding rounds, the company continues to focus on expanding its renewable energy projects across Australia.
Working There
Tilt Renewables employs approximately 150 staff across various roles, including development, operations, engineering, and infrastructure management, reflecting its status as a leading developer ranked in the top 10% globally for renewable project developers (source: pfnexus.com). The primary operational hub is located in Melbourne, Victoria, where hiring activity is concentrated, as indicated by its LinkedIn presence (source: linkedin.com). The company culture emphasizes execution with the motto "We are people powered. We get it done. We lead," supported by a team averaging over 250 years of collective experience from major energy employers (source: infratil.com). However, specific employee benefits such as health plans, bonuses, or work-life policies are not publicly documented in available sources, indicating a potential area for improvement in employee engagement and satisfaction.
