Our purpose and vision
Squadron Energy is on a mission to transform Australia’s energy landscape.
We aim to improve the environment for current and future generations by leading Australia’s transition to renewable energy.
For communities, corporate businesses, and governments ready to reduce their environmental footprint, we provide cost-effective, clean renewable energy.
With unrivalled experience through the entire project lifecycle, Squadron Energy is the trusted partner of choice for renewable projects.
Our climate policy
Human-made climate change is real. But we can do something about it. We want Australia to transition to a zero-carbon economy. Quickly.
Squadron Energy is focused on enabling more rapid decarbonisation. We develop renewable generation and firming such as batteries, peaking power stations and Australia’s first energy terminal. These firming assets will complement renewable power generation when solar or wind power generation isn’t available or sufficient.
We will invest in energy transition projects such as dual fuel (gas and green hydrogen) power generation that has a pathway to 100 per cent green hydrogen.
Energy transition projects are needed to provide a reliable and secure energy system in the short term, without creating a longer-term dependence on fossil fuels.
