The financing package, self-arranged by Intellihub shareholders Brookfield and Pacific Equity Partners (PEP), comprises A$2.55billion in loans across 3, 5, 7 and 10 year tenors and NZ$510 million across 3 and 5 year tenors.
Intellihub CEO Wes Ballantine said the capital will enable Intellihub to surge ahead with its widespread deployment of smart meters and consumer energy devices across Australia and New Zealand.
“This funding gives Intellihub significant financial runway to continue rolling out cutting-edge smart meter, solar, battery, EV charging and pool efficiency technology,” he said.
“These smart devices, combined with our orchestration software layer, are already supporting more than three million Australian and New Zealand homes to be more energy efficient. With this funding, that number is expected to more than double by 2030.”
The transaction attracted strong support from Intellihub’s banking syndicate, with CIBC, Clifford Capital, MUFG, NAB, Societe Generale andWestpac acting as lead banks, and ANZ serving as Green Loan Coordinator.
Loan terms and pricing were set at investment-grade levels, reflecting the strength of Intellihub’s smart meter and data intelligence business and its internationally recognised green credentials.
“The favourable terms, reflecting Intellihub’s growing financial strength, means we can combine our market leading innovation with a sector leading cost of capital,” Ballantine said.
“This is good news for our clients and partners striving for cost effective decarbonisation and digitisation solutions in a rapidly evolving energy sector.”
Intellihub continues to be a leader in flexible demand technologies, including demand response, virtual power plants, and consumer-focused solutions through its Zelora platform, launched in partnership with Bunnings.
The company is also one of Australia’s largest EV charging suppliers through its majority stake in EVSE and is preparing to launch first-of-its-kind pool technology to further support decarbonisation efforts.
This refinancing underscores the confidence of Brookfield and PEP in Intellihub’s growth trajectory and strong market position, ensuring the business is well-capitalised to support Australia and New Zealand’s transition to a cleaner, smarter energy future.
