Who we are

The Energy Security Corporation is a government-backed clean energy investor with a clear public mandate: to accelerate investment in large-scale storage and enabling infrastructure to support a reliable and secure electricity system for NSW.

The NSW energy transformation is underway

Coal-fired power is retiring and under the NSW Government’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, the state is transitioning to a cleaner, more affordable and reliable energy system. While strong progress is already being made, the scale and speed of investment needed is beyond what the market can deliver on its own. Backed by $1 billion in seed funding, the Energy Security Corporation partners with the private sector to fill critical gaps and accelerate project delivery.

Investing to accelerate NSW's energy transformation

To help address critical market gaps, the NSW Government established the Energy Security Corporation to mobilise investment where and when it is needed most. Our purpose is set out in the Energy Security Corporation Act 2024, and our objectives are to:

Partner with the private sector to finance clean energy technologies and accelerate private sector investments in clean energy projects in NSW that improve the reliability, security and sustainability of electricity supply

Support NSW to achieve its emissions reduction targets under the Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023 and complement other government initiatives relating to clean energy.
