Energise Renewables is a dynamic new consultancy within the clean energy space. Unique within the Australian and New Zealand context, Energise Renewables is an offshore wind consultancy which offers end-to-end project life-cycle expertise including project origination, development, construction, and operation. 

Led by our three highly experienced founders – Jonas Jacobsen, Adam Thyboe, and Naomi Campbell – we have over 30 years of combined international offshore wind experience, 16 of which include Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific. 

Australia boasts the sixth largest offshore wind technical resource potential in the world. Companies seeking to undertake offshore renewable energy infrastructure projects need a licence and the Federal Government is currently inviting licence applications in the Bass Strait off Gippsland, Victoria. Recently, the government also announced a second area of consideration off the coast off Hunter, New South Wales. See https://www.dcceew.gov.au/energy/renewable/establishing-offshore-infrastructure for further details.

In New Zealand, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment are currently developing the regulatory setting for offshore renewable energy which they expect to have in place by 2024. Consultation is currently open on the proposed approaches to enabling feasibility studies for offshore renewable energy developments. See https://www.mbie.govt.nz/building-and-energy/energy-and-natural-resources/energy-generation-and-markets/offshore-renewable-energy/ for further details.

Energise Renewables are experts in the critical competencies required to successfully deliver large-scale electricity infrastructure projects. Outside of the offshore wind sector, we possess a broad experience of both established and emerging clean energy technologies including onshore wind, carbon capture and storage, ocean energy, micro-grids, and Power-to-X.

Quote attributable to co-founder and Technical Director, Jonas Jacobsen:

“Offshore wind has the potential to be a game-changer for Australia and New Zealand – delivering significant clean energy and jobs in the right place and at the right time. Energise Renewables will make an impactful contribution to the clean energy future of these exciting new markets. Together with our clients and partners we look forward to accelerating the energy transition to create a better future for everyone.”
