Background
Launched in 2024, Energy Capital was founded to drive clean energy retrofits across Australia and the ASEAN region, with a focus on commercial, industrial, and public sector assets. The goal: make solar, battery, and energy optimisation projects bankable, scalable, and digitally enabled.
Approach
3i Strategy co-founded and co-led Energy Capital, developing its market-entry roadmap, financial model, and investor proposition. We embedded digital twins and performance contracting into the core offering, allowing clients to see modelled ROI before breaking ground.
Journey
The are working across Australia and ASEAN—to anchor projects across hospitals, manufacturing plans, commercial buildings, universities, and datacentres. These projects integrate solar and battery systems with HVAC upgrades, and are optimised using simulation software for maximum financial and carbon benefit. We also led early-stage investor engagement with climate, infra, and family office funds.
Outcome
3i Strategy with Energy Capital now has a growing project pipeline and early commitments from key strategic investors. It is positioned as a specialist partner to accelerate energy transition goals while delivering predictable returns under an Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model and Energy Performance Contracts.
