HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., a smart energy solutions company, is strengthening its global presence with the deployment of solar and storage projects in Australia and Japan. With an annual expansion rate exceeding 2 gigawatts (GW), the company expects more than half of its revenue to come from international markets by 2027.
Strategic deployment in Australia
In Australia, HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. has launched several large-scale solar and battery projects, aiming for a total capacity of 2.7GW by 2028. A 20-year power purchase agreement has been signed with ZEN Energy for the Templers Battery Project in South Australia. This flagship project, with a capacity of 111 megawatts (MW) and 330 megawatt-hours (MWh), is scheduled to begin commercial operations by the end of 2025.
This partnership marks a key milestone in HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.’s international strategy, which includes replicating this model in other markets, including Taiwan. The group’s integrated approach—combining generation, storage, and trading—provides increased flexibility to meet fluctuating energy demand.
Accelerated growth in the Japanese market
In Japan, HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. aims to reach 3.4GW of storage capacity by 2028. The Helios Project in Hokkaido, developed in partnership with Brawn Capital, is a 50MW battery storage facility connected to the extra-high-voltage grid, integrated into Japan’s electricity trading market. The project was connected to the grid in July and is expected to begin commercial operations in November.
These developments come amid increasing deregulation of electricity markets in Japan and Australia. In response, HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. has established MWEX Solutions, a joint venture with Arctrade, dedicated to advanced energy trading platform technologies.
Asset optimisation and automated trading
MWEX Solutions offers automated trading systems that enable seamless data integration between generation sites, the grid, behind-the-metre storage, and wholesale markets. This digital infrastructure targets deregulated markets, where real-time responsiveness and optimisation are crucial.
The company believes that rising energy demand—driven by data centres and artificial intelligence—is increasing interest in flexible production and storage technologies. It anticipates a rapid growth in these solutions as scalable, high-yield investment vehicles.
Jason Chou, General Manager of HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., stated: “Energy will become the world’s most strategic resource. Storage and virtual power plant technologies are maturing and emerging as viable, scalable investment assets.”
