“Climate Capital is the first solar project developer to join CPVA,” says Laura Jones, Co-Founder and Director of CPVA, “This shows the industry is really starting to recognise the immense opportunity and value in transitioning solar energy to a circular economy.”
Climate Capital is a principal investment and fund management firm that builds, owns, and operates renewable energy projects. Climate Capital’s charter is to decarbonise the electricity grid and support Australian businesses. Recently, Climate Capital announced Tasmania’s first solar farm at Bell Bay, an important milestone for Climate Capital and the Tasmanian solar industry.
Climate Capital’s focus on the intersection of finance, humanity, and nature strongly aligns with CPVA’s mission and focus as the only industry body actively working to deliver a sustainable renewable energy transition.
“Investing in fit-for-purpose solar/BESS facilities has allowed Climate Capital to support companies in reducing operating costs and increasing ESG credentials, however the lifecycle of materials we utilise must now be considered at the project planning stage.” explains Shane Bartel, CEO of Climate Capital. “We were motivated to join CPVA to learn, apply and demonstrate to our industry colleagues how a responsible solar farm design can contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon circular economy.”
Climate Capital joins an esteemed and growing group of organisations pledging support to CPVA. This includes existing founding members PV Lab, Rainbow Power Company and Molekulis, and reciprocal Associate Member ABRI (Association for the Battery Recycling Industry).
As a founding member, Climate Capital will also hold a position on the CPVA Technical and Strategic Advisory Board.
CPVA is a not-for-profit industry organisation, founded by the solar energy industry, for the solar energy industry. CPVA supports a united industry-led approach to enable the self-determination of various stakeholders in this new circular market paradigm. CPVA partners with industry to undertake research to identify solutions and opportunities for the circular PV economy.
Most recently CPVA and The University of Queensland released the Reclaimed PV Panels Market Assessment Industry Report which has received widespread national and international attention and resulted in CPVA being a Finalist in the 2023 Clean Energy Council Awards.
