Our vision is to play a key role in decarbonising the planet using technology. We will keep the lights on through the delivery of 24/7 Carbon Free Energy powering industry and energy networks. Our technology is available to support projects globally, and is key to unlocking the financial viability of company owned Superhybrid™ projects in Australia.
Using Sunshine Hydro technology we provide the equivalent security and reliability of a nuclear power plant, but without the associated risk, significantly less water consumption, no toxic waste and 100% green.
Financial viability is solved. The wait for government funding is over, our projects are bankable, and private capital is unlocked. The Superhybrid becomes the backbone of renewables globally. We use our technology to optimise long duration energy storage. This means the ROI is improved and the payback period is reduced, putting investment opportunities like pumped hydro firmly back on the radar of investors.
Pumped hydro is re-imagined. Our AESOP technology disrupts the hydro power industry. We have created a renewables ecosystem we call a Superhybrid™. This combines a range of renewables technologies with long duration energy storage. It delivers 24/7 Carbon Free Energy, while optimising every green electron generated for financial performance. AESOP is AI innovation that determines the best use of all green energy generated to supply carbon free energy and green hydrogen.
Private and public pumped hydro facilities benefit. These are exciting times for the global renewables industry. We encourage all hydro power industry participants – both public and private – to make contact and let us demonstrate the value we can add to pumped hydro projects.
Sunshine Hydro owned Superhybrid eco-systems deliver 24/7 CFE in Australia. Djandori Gung-i Superhybrid and Dumaresq Superhybrid eco-systems combined deliver 2.8TWh of 24/7 CFE and abate 26.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually (6% of Australia’s total annual emissions).
AESOP changes the delivery of 24/7 Carbon Free Energy. Our AESOP technology utilises historical, current live, and forecast data in its decision-making matrix. The combination of this data being fed into AESOP allows it to accurately optimise the usage of the incoming energy it receives to attune to the current demands within contestable wholesale markets whilst accounting for future commitments.
Sunshine Hydro cares a great deal about the preservation of the environment in which we all share and will maintain constant vigilance on all projects during design, construction, and operation. We will work with specialist conservation groups to map out an environmental conservation program and strategy in all areas in which we conduct project activities.
Sunshine Hydro is mindful of the community impact its projects will potentially have and is deliberate in its intention that any impact will be significantly positive. Sunshine Hydro considers local community members and First Nations People to be stakeholders who are equal in importance to all other stakeholders.
Sunshine Hydro significantly improves the financial viability of renewables projects. Often projects around the world are waiting for government funding to proceed. With Sunshine Hydro’s innovation, the wait is over. Project profitability increases and the pay-back period reduces to the extent projects are able to attract private funding.
Sunshine Hydro is able to demonstrate value for public utility organisations and private project owners from all around the world.
Public Utilities
AESOP optimises operations to maximise productivity gains for the shared benefit of key stakeholders and customers of public utilities.
Privately Owned Facilities
AESOP can present clear evidence of maximised operational and investor returns in privately owned projects. It is key to improving financial viability. For projects waiting on government funding to proceed, an improved forecast rate of return makes the project more attractive to private investors and reduces the need for government funding. Full financial models based on projected 20-year simulations can provide confidence to infrastructure investors and project owners.
Risk Mitigation
Our approach focuses on mitigating and managing risks, and this is reflected in some of AESOP’s key functionality. For instance, AESOP can quantify past and future operational and financial benefits in a low-risk digital twin environment using historical data.
Sunshine Hydro takes a portfolio building approach and develops Superhybrid™ renewable energy projects.
Our approach is similar to that of a large real estate developer. We secure land and undertake works to add value to the site and generate income.
A Superhybrid™ is a new asset class that we have created. The asset value is underpinned by:
We have commenced building our portfolio. To date, we have focused on two Superhybrid projects; the Djandori Gung-i Superhybrid in Queensland and the Dumaresq Superhybrid in Northern NSW.
Third party projects
We own our own projects and also invite inquiries from third party pumped hydro project owners who are seeking co-investment in their projects. To add value to third party projects, we are able to provide expertise in project management as well as our innovative AESOP software.
Sunshine Hydro acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
