The Australian War Memorial has entered its first major partnership in the renewable energy sector, joining forces with Canberra-based company Renewables Warehouse.
“This partnership represents an exciting next phase for the Memorial,” Memorial director Matt Anderson said.

“In 2023, the Memorial committed to building Australia’s largest closed-loop geothermal system to heat and cool our new buildings. Our partnership with Renewables Warehouse complements the Memorial’s prior commitments, bolstering our dedication to being an industry leader in this space.”
Recent works also include a 235kW rooftop solar array. Together, these systems are expected to reduce emissions by more than 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually and save approximately $1 million in energy costs each year.
Anderson said the partnership reflected the values shared between the Memorial and Renewables Warehouse.
“As we prepare to open our new spaces, we are building relationships with organisations that share our values.”
Founded in 2022, Renewables Warehouse is the ACT’s first dedicated solar wholesaler, supplying installers, homeowners and businesses with solar panels, battery systems and technical support.
Renewables Warehouse co-founder Lucas Sena said, “We are proud to partner with the Australian War Memorial.

“Our company was created by installers, for installers, and we know the impact renewable solutions can have at a community level. To be able to bring that expertise to a national institution like the Memorial is a privilege, and we hope it inspires others to embrace clean energy.”
Renewables Warehouse joins a growing portfolio of partners for the Memorial as it undergoes its redevelopment, which will deliver new gallery spaces, improved visitor facilities and innovative public programs.
