Energy company Envision Energy teams up with FERA Australia for the development of a 1GW wind power system and 1.5GWh energy storage solution in Australia.
In July 2025, Envision Energy and FERA Australia unveiled a significant collaboration aimed at accelerating Australia's transition to a sustainable energy system. This partnership, the first of its kind in Australia, will develop up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of wind power combined with 1.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage across the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) [1][2][3].
This initiative marks the first large-scale hybrid renewable energy project in Australia, integrating large-scale wind generation with advanced battery storage in a hybrid system. Envision Energy contributes advanced wind turbine technology, next-generation containerized battery systems, grid-forming power conversion systems (PCS), and a proprietary Hybrid Power Plant Controller (HPPC). FERA Australia brings local project development expertise to the table [1][2][3].
The partnership was formalized at the Australia Wind Energy Conference in Melbourne. The venture will begin with a pilot project in Victoria, showcasing Envision’s full converter wind turbines, grid-forming battery storage, and HPPC technology to support grid reliability and energy transition [1][2][3].
The collaboration aims to deliver zero-carbon, flexible, and reliable power, setting new industry standards. This project is notable as a large-scale hybrid renewable infrastructure model combining wind power and storage, demonstrating how integrated solutions can enhance grid stability and renewable energy penetration in Australia [1][3].
FERA Group, an Italian company dedicated to renewable energy production, owns FERA Australia. The company's projects are relevant to both the Australia and Global regions, focusing on investment, renewable energy, wind energy, energy transition, and net zero emissions. FERA Australia has built a substantial portfolio of projects that are pivotal in advancing the journey towards zero-carbon energy [1][2].
Envision Energy, a world-leading green technology company, has been included in Fortune's 2024 Change the World list for its contributions to the global green energy transition. The company is committed to achieving the "Business Ambition for 1.5°C" and has set the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2040 [1][2].
The Australian team of FERA Group benefits from two decades of expertise in site identification, design, construction, and operation of renewable energy plants. The team is motivated by a strong desire to contribute to the transition towards a clean energy future [1][2].
