Agile Energy media release
2 December 2025
Agile Energy, a leading Australian commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable-energy platform, has announced a new strategic equity investment from Five V Capital (Five V) and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
The investment will support Agile's next phase of growth as it scales to deliver more than 200 MW of solar and battery projects for Australian businesses under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) across Australia's commercial and industrial market.
This joint investment from Five V and CEFC will accelerate Agile's deployment of its diversified national pipeline across all major customer sectors.
Building on Proven Performance
Agile Energy has already successfully deployed over 50 MW of PPA-based clean-energy assets nationally across the manufacturing, distribution, industrial, retail, aged care, construction, healthcare, logistics and property sectors nationwide.
This new investment marks the beginning of Agile's accelerated expansion into broader industries and customer portfolios - enabling Australian businesses to access secure, low-cost, renewable power with no upfront capital expenditure.
Driving Australia's Energy Transition
The investment marks a significant milestone for Agile Energy as it delivers on its more than 200 MW development pipeline of solar and battery projects under long-term PPAs.
The capital commitment will enable Agile to build, own and operate distributed clean-energy assets for Australian businesses, delivering stable, low-cost renewable power without the need for upfront customer investment.
Jack Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer of Agile Energy, said:
"This commitment accelerates our mission to make clean energy accessible and financially compelling for Australian businesses.
"Five V and the CEFC bring not just capital, but deep institutional expertise in scaling sustainable infrastructure. Together, we'll unlock hundreds of megawatts of rooftop and on-site solar and batteries.
"Working with Five V Capital and the CEFC strengthens our capacity to move faster - scaling to 200 MW and beyond while maintaining the discipline, data and outstanding delivery that define Agile. This is institutional capital backing local execution."
