Project overview and market positioning

• Waroona project is WA’s most advanced, fully permitted hybrid renewable facility: 132MW solar and 81.5MW (6.9hr) battery, 120km south of Perth.

• Stage One is development-ready, with all major approvals, grid connection, and revenue certainty through state and federal mechanisms.

• Project is located on 830ha of freehold land, adjacent to major infrastructure and energy consumers, enabling rapid expansion.

• Multi-stage growth strategy with Stage Two (80MW BESS, 132MW solar) and further expansion potential on surplus land.

• Only pure-play ASX-listed WA renewable developer, targeting sector EV/EBITDA multiples (~22x) seen in recent transactions.

Revenue model and financial outlook

• Multiple revenue streams: reserve capacity payments, energy sales (battery and excess solar), and by-products (LGC, FCESS).

• Reserve Capacity Mechanism (RCM) provides A$32m p.a. (CPI-indexed) until 2032, underpinned by state government.

• Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) underwrites minimum revenue until 2042, with federal top-up if revenue falls below floor.

• Average annual revenue forecast at A$72.5m and EBITDA at A$62.5m (86% margin) from commissioning to 2032; IRR post-tax 20%, payback 6 years.

• Debt servicing estimated at A$22.5m p.a.; reserve capacity alone covers debt and opex.
