ZEBRE is a joint venture between Taiwan Stock Exchange-listed HD Renewable Energy (HDRE) and ZEN Energy, formed to build new renewable energy assets in Australia.

Starting with the Solar River, 256MW BESS and 210MW solar farm north of Adelaide, ZEBRE has a pipeline of projects that will quickly expand into an additional 1 GW of energy storage and 400MW of solar generation across four states.

ZEBRE’s (pronounced zeb-ri:) name comes from joining ZEN, BESS and HDRE together. Our logos morph to create a representation of a battery and the pattern of a zebra.

A zebra’s stripes provide thermoregulation, where the black absorbs heat in the morning and the white stripes reflect the sun during the peak of the day. Like solar panels absorbing the sun to store in a battery and serve consumers when needed, ZEBRE is focused on delivering clean energy to Australia when they need it most.

ZEBRE is developing the hybrid Solar River 210MW solar farm and 256MW/650MWh battery energy storage system on Ngadjuri country, north-east of Adelaide, in South Australia’s Riverland region.

The project site and transmission easement traverses land north of the Goyder Hwy at Maude and the Traditional Lands of the First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee Region to the south of the project.

Solar River will connect to ElectraNet’s transmission network through the Bundey substation, requiring an approximate 25km, 275kV transmission line.

ZEBRE is seeking to build the Wagga North Battery Energy Storage System at the Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct (SAP), near Byrnes Road, Bomen.

The proposed 105 MW/420MWh battery will have the capacity to provide the equivalent power for up to 35,000 NSW homes and businesses with renewable energy.

The project will also support growth in local electricity demand and defer the need for electricity network upgrades, positioning Wagga Wagga at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions.

ZEBRE is seeking to develop a 210 MW/4-8hr battery energy storage system on a rural property at Yarragon, in Victoria’s Gippsland region.

The project will have the capacity to provide the equivalent power for 66,000 Victorian homes and businesses.

The project will be located on land previously used for grazing, minimising impacts on the environment and also visual impact.

North Yarragon will add significant storage and stability to Victoria’s electricity grid. Battery storage is essential to supporting the state’s transition to renewable energy by ensuring blackouts don’t occur during periods of intermittence.
