Renewables developer TagEnergy has announced its acquisition of specialist early-stage developer ACE Power, adding a ~6GW pipeline of battery, wind and solar projects to its growing portfolio.
TagEnergy has 1.33GW of renewable energy projects under construction and operation in Australia, including the largest onshore wind project underway in the Southern Hemisphere, Victoria’s Golden Plains Wind Farm.
Golden Plains marked a first for the Australian renewables sector, becoming the largest development to progress on a merchant-first basis, moving ahead without any Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in place at the time of construction. The project has already made history, setting a new record in June 2025 as the largest wind energy producer in Australia.
With the integration of ACE Power’s portfolio, TagEnergy will have a 10GW pipeline of renewable energy projects across the nation.
TagEnergy CEO Franck Woitiez said, “TagEnergy and ACE Power share the same entrepreneurial spirit and bold ambition, and by bringing our strengths together we’re creating an Australian clean energy champion.
“We’re integrating ACE Power’s deep expertise in early-stage development with our capabilities in commercialisation, delivery and long-term investment, underpinned by a clear energy management strategy that focuses on delivering greater value for the market, our customers and partners.
“ACE Power has built a strong reputation as an agile and trusted local developer, and we’re thrilled to welcome their talented team into TagEnergy,” he said.
ACE Power founder and managing director Andy Scullion said, “We had a vision to create a market-leading development team and pipeline of transformational projects, and ACE has achieved this in four short years. I’d like to thank the outstanding ACE team, Pelion, and our project partners for their hard work, determination and professionalism.
“We are very excited about partnering with TagEnergy. Combining our businesses will supercharge our collective growth, and we are ambitious to take the business to the next level,” he said.
The acquisition will see ACE Power’s third-party co-development projects continue under the TagEnergy banner.
Scullion will lead TagEnergy’s development function in Australia, with current head of development Théo Imbert moving into a new strategy and integration role.
