We invest to lead the market, operating with commercial rigour to address some of Australia’s toughest emissions challenges. We’re working with our co-investors across renewable energy generation and energy storage, as well as agriculture, infrastructure, property, transport and waste.
Purpose
The CEFC is governed by an independent Board, whose members are jointly appointed by its two responsible Ministers. The Board reports to the Australian Parliament through the responsible Ministers.
The purpose of the CEFC is to facilitate increased flows of finance into the clean energy sector. Consistent with the object of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation Act 2012 (CEFC Act), the CEFC:
- Invests in clean energy technologies, projects and businesses
- Leverages its investments to attract additional investment from the private sector
- Shares market and investment experiences, insights and expertise with project sponsors, co-investors, public sector agencies, the energy sector and other industry bodies.
The CEFC is an independent statutory authority, with access to $10 billion in capital from the Australian Government to invest in clean energy technologies, projects and businesses.
