Sydney headquartered Agile Energy has secured a new strategic investment to accelerate the delivery of a 200 megawatt virtual power plant made up of commercial- and industrial-scale rooftop solar and batteries.
Agile Energy, a commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy platform, said this week that its plans are backed by two new strategic investors, Five V Capital and the federal government’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
The unspecified capital commitment will help Agile Energy accelerate delivery of the new round of solar and battery projects it will own and operate under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) across the country’s C&I market.
Having already deployed more than 50 MW of PPA-based clean-energy assets nationally across a wide array of sectors, Agile Energy hopes now to accelerate its expansion into broader industries and customer portfolios.
“This commitment accelerates our mission to make clean energy accessible and financially compelling for Australian businesses,” said Jack Kapoor, Agile Energy CEO.
“Five V and the CEFC bring not just capital, but deep institutional expertise in scaling sustainable infrastructure. Together, we’ll unlock hundreds of megawatts of rooftop and on-site solar and batteries.
“Working with Five V Capital and the CEFC strengthens our capacity to move faster — scaling to 200 MW and beyond while maintaining the discipline, data and outstanding delivery.
“This is institutional capital backing local execution,” Kapoor says.
Agile’s platform makes combines long-term PPA models with a zero upfront capital requirement for customers, in-house EPC and asset-management, and advanced battery integration and lifecycle monitoring through the company’s own digital platform.
“Demand from Australian businesses for secure, low-cost clean energy continues to grow,” says David Margolius, chief commercial officer of Agile Energy.
“With institutional capital now aligned behind Agile Energy, customers can rely on fully bankable solutions underpinned by robust infrastructure and proven long-term operational performance.”
Patrick Rodden, managing director at Five V Capital, says Agile’s platform represents the next generation of clean-energy infrastructure — founder-led, execution-focused and driven by data, discipline and customer outcomes.
“We’re excited to partner with the Agile team to help scale the company’s growth nationally and invest institutional capital into a sector that delivers outstanding returns for customers and the environment,” Rodden said.
