ARENA renewable energy project funding

Overview

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has issued several grants to support diverse renewable energy initiatives in Australia.

In November 2026, ARENA committed AU$2 million to Sydney-based Alchemy Charge to facilitate electric vehicle (EV) charging installations for residents in strata-titled properties. This funding is part of the AU$7.4 million Strata Assist programme, which uses a digital platform to manage approvals and hardware installation.

Additionally, ARENA awarded $15 million to Hadean Energy for a $30 million pilot hydrogen plant in Victoria. The project aims to test technology designed to reduce the electricity required for green hydrogen production by approximately 30%. The pilot plant, located at a BOC site in Hastings, is intended to supply hydrogen for steel manufacturing annealing processes.
