Powering Australian Renewables (PowAR) is an Australian infrastructure investment fund closely associated with but independent from AGL Energy.[1]

Initial investment in PowAR was $200M from AGL, and up to $800M from each of QIC Global Infrastructure Fund and the Australian sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund.[2]

PowAR’s initial assets included the

Mercury NZ to receive the New Zealand assets.[3]

As of 2022, PowAR has merged with Tilt Renewables following a complex acquisition and merger, making it the largest private developer and generator of renewable electricity in Australia.
