Envision Energy and FERA Australia have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop large-scale hybrid renewable energy projects in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). The agreement was finalized at the Australia Energy Wind Conference in Melbourne on July 17, 2025, and aims to deliver up to 1 GW of wind generation capacity alongside 1.5 GWh of battery energy storage.
Under the framework, Envision Energy will supply its integrated technology platform, which includes advanced full-converter wind turbines, next-generation containerized battery modules with grid-forming power conversion systems (PCS), and its proprietary Hybrid Power Plant Controller (HPPC). FERA Australia, a specialist in local renewable energy development, will lead project siting, permitting, and execution within the NEM.
“This collaboration represents a major step forward in demonstrating how hybrid wind and storage solutions can unlock new possibilities for Australia’s energy future,” said Kane Xu, SVP and President of International Product Line of Envision Energy. “We are honored by the trust FERA Australia has placed in our technical capabilities across wind, storage, and grid integration, and we look forward to delivering projects that set new benchmarks for clean, flexible power.”
“Partnering with Envision Energy marks an exciting milestone in our pursuit of large-scale renewable projects in Australia. Integrating wind power and energy storage in a hybrid project, will constitute an excellent model for future initiatives.” said Sebastiano Falesi, Head of FERA Australia and Member of the Board of Directors of the FERA Group. “The rapid advancement of renewable energy projects is crucial for supporting Australia’s transition to zero-carbon energy. Envision’s cutting-edge technology and deep global expertise assure us that we have a reliable partner capable of helping us achieve new standards in performance and reliability.”
The first project under the partnership will be a pilot facility in Victoria. It will feature Envision’s grid-forming batteries and HPPC technology operating in tandem with their full-converter wind turbines. The hybrid plant is expected to improve grid reliability, demonstrate new revenue streams from ancillary services, and highlight Envision’s commitment to the Australian renewable sector.
By combining FERA’s detailed knowledge of local development processes with Envision’s proven global track record in wind and storage integration, the two companies aim to accelerate the deployment of flexible, clean energy solutions across Australia.
