Announcement posted by Enova Energy 05 Jul 2021
Enova Energy is pleased to announce an expansion to its long-term alliance with Diamond Energy. This builds resilience into its energy sourcing and expands its ability to deliver distributed renewable energy generation and storage projects.
As a small and growing community-owned energy retailer, recently named by CHOICE as Australia’s best ranked energy retailer for customer services and environmental sustainability for 2020, Enova Energy is pleased to have signed long term agreements with the highly rated by Green Peace renewables retailer and generator Diamond Energy.
Enova’s key focus is to do energy differently – keeping money local, championing the transition to renewables, and helping communities take local action on climate change by creating innovative energy models based on generating, storing and sharing energy from renewable sources.
Diamond Energy is an accredited and active wholesale electricity market participant. Diamond specialises in renewable energy generation and offers considerable expertise regarding the development of renewable and clean energy generation and storage facilities. Diamond’s principal focus is to support and develop utility scale, distributed and embedded energy generation delivering tailored cost-effective low-carbon energy supply solutions to its customers under long-term and aligned partnerships. They are also a fully licensed and independent electricity retailer with a growing retail customer base.
Felicity Stening, Enova’s CEO explained: “Under the expansion agreements, Enova and Diamond will work together to explore distributed renewable energy generation and storage projects, and, with Enova currently sourcing approximately 50% of its energy from its customers’ roof tops, we’ll now have Diamond Energy’s renewable energy projects to cover the remainder.”
“This will enable Enova to continue its deep community-based work to create sustainable and resilient communities, assisting their transition to renewable energy, without leaving anyone behind.”
“Diamond has significant expertise in managing renewable energy and storage projects, which we can utilise to support the wholesale risk of our customers,” stated Diamond’s Managing Director Mark Bertoncello. “Our companies are well matched, and these agreements will enable Enova’s future growth in the residential and business electricity sector to be supported, while enabling Diamond to expand renewable generation and storage.”
