CEFC commitments in the six months to December provided momentum for net zero ambitions across the economy, in natural capital, transport, infrastructure, property and climate tech innovation. They also backed the build-out of large-scale renewable energy generation and transmission infrastructure to support the transformation of Australia’s electricity sector.
Investment highlights
- The largest CEFC commitment to date – an expected $3.8 billion to Marinus Link, was made through the Rewiring the Nation Fund to help deliver critical infrastructure.
- Commitments to three large-scale wind projects, totalling $247 million, played a key role in breaking an “investment drought” in the sector.
- Up to $40 million was committed to Australia’s largest First Nations-led carbon initiative - a landmark forestry project in the Tiwi Islands.
- More than $38 million in Powering Australia Technology Fund investment commitments backed innovative climate tech businesses.
- The number of loans made under the Household Energy Upgrades Fund™ more than doubled, when compared with the previous six months.
Our activity during the six months to December 2025 demonstrates why we are a critical lever in Australia’s race to net zero.Ian LearmonthCEO, CEFC
