Latest Renewables News

IAG has offered a package of competition remedies to support approval of its proposed 20-year insurance alliance with RAC of Western Australia, including the transfer of NRMA policy renewal rights and a $20 million community investment. The insurer says the transaction still carries $1.2 billion in additional annual gross written premium and approximately $100 million in annual pre-tax synergies once integration is complete.

Excite Technology Services has reported its strongest quarterly operating cash flow on record, with A$1.33 million generated in the September quarter and cash reserves rising to A$3.98 million. The result was supported by stronger customer receipts, a A$3.20 million Federal Government digital forensics contract and a July capital raising.

Mercury NZ posted a 19% increase in first-quarter trading margin to $445 million despite hydro inflows falling to the second percentile. New wind and geothermal output helped offset weaker hydro generation, while major renewable projects moved closer to full operation.

360 Capital Mortgage REIT has stepped deeper into the recovery of its Bathla exposures, acquiring senior debt over a 72-apartment project while reporting further property sales. The Trust is targeting monthly FY27 distributions of 5.0 cents per unit, but much still depends on settlements and property realisations.

COSOL’s revenue fell 15.6% in FY26 and the ASX-listed asset management technology company swung to a $4.0 million statutory loss after goodwill impairments. Management is betting that leaner operations, new transport contracts and AI-led services can restore profitable growth, but the recovery still needs to show up in revenue.

Delorean Corporation has secured a non-binding $20 million financing mandate from Westpac for its NSW1 Horsley Park bioenergy project, taking identified funding to about 81% of the estimated build cost. The project still needs binding finance documents and a further $11.6 million before financial close can be reached.

Kinetiko Energy is preparing to submit a permit that could allow limited gas sales from its Brakfontein project in early 2027, while engineering, procurement and drilling plans advance in parallel. The company has also shortlisted three candidates for its next chief executive.

Rumble Resources has renewed attention on its Earaheedy zinc-lead-silver project, pointing to a 94Mt inferred resource and metallurgical work that produced a 61% zinc-plus-lead bulk concentrate. The company is now testing separate concentrates and seeking strategic partners, but the project remains short of a definitive development case.

Carma delivered a much larger operation in FY26, with revenue up 59% and gross profit doubling, but the online used-car retailer remains deeply loss-making. Its next test is converting new sourcing and reconditioning capacity into faster inventory turnover and lower cash burn.

Vection Technologies has secured a multi-year framework agreement with Italian telecommunications provider Retelit Digital Service, which has committed to generate at least approximately A$19.5 million in revenue for the company by June 2030. The deal expands Vection’s route into enterprise customers across Italy and Europe, although margins and payment terms remain undisclosed.

Pointerra3D delivered its strongest first-quarter customer receipts on record and returned to positive operating cash flow as enterprise deployments broadened across utilities, mining, transport and infrastructure. The ASX-listed software company ended September with A$1.95 million in cash, while several larger opportunities remain at proof-of-value or pending-award stages.

S&P Global Ratings has revised TPG Telecom’s outlook to stable from negative while affirming its BBB issuer credit rating. The agency expects mobile growth, lower capital intensity and balance-sheet repair to push adjusted debt-to-EBITDA below 2.75x from fiscal 2027, although spectrum costs remain a substantial test.
