Overview

Victoria's renewable energy sector represents a major, long-term pipeline of work for capable suppliers, with strong policy drivers for local content and accelerating investment in generation, transmission and storage across the state.

Sector overview and scale

Victoria's clean energy sector is positioned for unprecedented growth as the state transitions away from coal-fired generation toward largescale wind, solar and storage. Legislated renewable energy and storage targets, alongside major grid and transmission upgrades, are reshaping Victoria's energy system and creating new opportunities across regional and metropolitan areas. Offshore wind zones, Renewable Energy Zones and new storage projects are drawing some of the world's leading renewable energy developers to Victoria. Together, these investments represent one of the largest infrastructure transformations in Victoria's history and are generating substantial demand for local businesses in construction, manufacturing, logistics, professional services and advanced technology.

Long-term drivers and opportunities

Victoria is targeting 95 per cent renewable electricity by 2035, supported by storage commitments of 2.6 GW by 2030 and 6.3 GW by 2035, underpinning a longterm project pipeline. The transition is forecast to contribute around $9.5 billion to the Victorian economy and create about 59,000 jobs between 2023 and 2035, with benefits spread across regions and industries. More than 2.2 GW of new largescale wind and solar is under construction, complemented by strong growth in rooftop solar and distributed energy resources. Major transmission projects, including the Western Renewables Link and VNI West, are unlocking new Renewable Energy Zones and enabling a new tranche of regions to connect to the renewables grid, creating additional opportunities for suppliers.

Policy, local content and ICN Victoria's role

Victoria's renewable energy and storage targets are backed by state policy and auction schemes that embed local content and industry participation objectives into project delivery.

ICN Victoria works with local renewable energy businesses turn these targets into contracts and long-term work. Drawing on more than 40 years' experience, ICN Victoria provides supply chain intelligence and market insights that shows project owners where Victorian SMEs can add value across generation, transmission and storage, then actively promote capable local suppliers into those work packages.

Our specialist advisers understand procurement requirements, regional strengths and emerging technologies, and can help you position your business, refine EOIs and connect with developers so you are better placed to win work on upcoming renewable energy projects.

Through ICN Victoria's robust database of renewable energy suppliers, direct engagement with project teams, and our specialist industry advisers with their deep knowledge of local capability, procurement requirements and regional strengths, we actively promote local renewable sector businesses, so more work stays local.

What buyers are looking for

Across the renewables sector, in-demand suppliers include civil and electrical contractors, turbine and solar farm balance-of-plant providers, transmission and substation specialists, fabricators, logistics providers and operations and maintenance service companies. There are also significant opportunities for local manufacturers and technology firms supplying steel and other niche components, control systems, battery and storage technologies, offshore wind foundations and associated port and marine services. Buyers are seeking both traditional capabilities and innovative solutions that improve project delivery, enhance grid reliability, support storage integration and reduce emissions across the energy system.
