Community trust: From renewable energy to data centres
Australia’s renewable energy sector has spent around two decades navigating one of the hardest parts of infrastructure delivery: building and maintaining community trust. As renewable energy development has accelerated, the sector has learnt that project success depends on more than technical design, financing and approvals. It also depends on meaningful early engagement, clear communication about […]
Access, Risk and Bankability: The Real Test for Renewable Energy Zones
Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) are one of the most important tools available to support Australia’s energy transition. The logic is compelling: deploy renewable generation, storage and transmission in the right locations, and do it in a coordinated way as our ageing fleet of coal generation exits the system. But as REZs move from concept to […]
Clarke Creek Wind Farm

Bringing Murrumbidgee Solar Farm to life
Fyfe’s expertise in traction power modelling was key in identifying the most feasible solutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Sg-IReYXk&t=1s Watch the 5MW Murrumbidgee Solar Farm rise out of the earth in this impressive time-lapse video. The farm, 2km from the rural town of Jerilderie in New South Wales, was built by our client Next Generation Electrical (NGE) for specialist […]
Going solar on Phillip Island
The people of Phillip Island are keen on a solar farm and/or solar carpark to provide sufficient energy for the 12,000-strong population – but needed informed advice. The people of Phillip Island in Victoria have a vision: 100% renewable energy by 2030. They are keen on a solar farm and/or solar carpark to provide sufficient […]
From a landfill to a renewable energy hub
A renewable energy facility in Springvale South in south Melbourne will be a first in Australia once construction starts – it will be the country’s only utility-scale hub built on a former landfill. A renewable energy facility in Springvale South in south Melbourne will be a first in Australia once construction starts – it will […]
De-risking wind farm projects
Why the biggest risks aren’t always where you think. Wind farm development is becoming increasingly complex. Projects are larger, stakeholder expectations are higher, our grids are more congested than ever. At the same time, approval pathways are being shaped by interconnected technical, environmental, social, delivery and cost constraints, as well as a changing policy environment. In this context, the most material […]
Hydrogen refuelling and production station
As Queensland continues its clean energy transition, Fyfe is supporting Emerald Coaches on its path to zero-emissions transport. Fyfe is proud to have delivered a Concept Study for Emerald Coaches, working towards a fleet of hydrogen-powered coaches and helping put green transport firmly on the road. The Concept Study focused on developing a fit-for-purpose, cost-effective […]
Civil engineering in wind farm development: A closer look
In part two of our series on the engineering expertise involved in wind farm development, we discuss civil engineering’s role and value While the towering turbines often steal the spotlight, it’s civil engineering that underpins any successful wind farm development. From initial design to the final construction stages, civil engineers make sure wind farms are efficient, […]
