About CWP

CWP is a leading renewable energy developer with expertise across the full project lifecycle. We develop, manage, and own projects with demonstrated success. Using our proven approach to follow each project from inception to full operation, we ensure genuine engagement with all stakeholders at each stage of development. Our mission is to improve the environment for current and future generations by leading the transition to renewable energy.

What makes us different

We embrace scale. Scale supports economics and leads to high impact that transforms economies, raising living standards and offering opportunity to local and regional communities.

From developing the largest wind farm in Europe to the largest power projects on earth destined to drive the hydrogen age, we set ourselves bold targets and then deliver.

We are agile, flexible, and innovative. Our agility gives us an early entry advantage, while our pursuit of innovation allows us to become market leaders and create development value. We are early adopters of new technologies and pioneers of new business models.

Our flexibility allows us to be adaptable to the needs of communities and to work easily with partners of like mind and commitment.

We have a structure and a culture that encourage true empowerment and teamwork. We have been selective in choosing people suited to work within this framework. The right people, with appropriate management guidance, flourish in this kind of environment.

Ultimately a company's value is the collective value of the people within the company and the way they work together. We take pride in the culture we have created at CWP.

We leverage our resources extremely well through partnership with others - others much larger than ourselves. Put simply, we work well with others and our partnerships stand as testimony to that. We are flexible and forthright and focused on alignment and delivery.

In the fast pace of the modern world and the ambitions that we have for our contribution to the task ahead of the rapid decarbonizing of the planet, we recognize we can only do this through partnerships and alignment of objectives with others that can contribute. Our partners stand proudly with us in claiming our achievements.

Our community engagement focus starts at the outset of development. We are involved in the entire lifecycle of projects from initial idea to full operations so we engage with the local community as long term partners. Respect and flexibility drive our relationships as well as a commitment to positive social impact.

In our projects to date we have led the field in community relations and in addition to being recognized through sector awards, we have contributed our model to successful templates that have been adopted by the industry. Our safety record in the renewables sector in Australia is a benchmark in the field.
