About CVC REEF

Funding profitable renewable energy and enabling ventures

The CVC Renewable Energy Equity Fund is a venture capital fund established to increase Australian private investment in renewable energy and enabling technologies through the provision of equity finance. Approximately A$18 million of the available funding is provided under the Australian Greenhouse Office’s REEF licence and approximately A$9 million is from private sources. CVC REEF invests in high growth, emerging Australian companies with domestic and global market potential in the renewable energy industry.

CVC is excited by its participation in the Australia’s growing renewable energy sector at this crucial time in its development. The mandated renewable energy target, established by the Commonwealth government in response to the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change of 1997, continues to be the major driver for domestic investments in this sector. The new generating assets to deliver the additional 9,500 GWh per annum by 2010 have an estimated capital investment requirement of between A$2 and A$5 billion.

Recent technological advances coupled with consumer and provider awareness of renewable energy's possibilities makes this time even more exciting for the industry.

Private funding leveraged with government assistance for Australian renewable and enabling technology businesses.
