Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation is an equity partnership between Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation and international renewable energy developer ACEN, with each holding 50 per cent ownership in YEC. The company is governed by a Board comprising Yindjibarndi and ACEN Directors, reflecting a partnership built on shared values and balanced decision making.

At the project level, Yindjibarndi will hold a minimum of 25 per cent and up to 50 per cent equity in all completed renewable energy projects through YEC. This structure ensures meaningful participation, long term revenue and alignment between development outcomes and Yindjibarndi priorities.

The primary land tenure for each renewable energy project within Yindjibarndi Ngurra, will always be held by the Yindjibarndi. As equity owners and primary tenure holders within the development area, Yindjibarndi people retain a central role in how projects are planned, approved and delivered on Yindjibarndi Ngurra.

This includes Yindjibarndi approval of all proposed project sites, involvement in technical and environmental studies to support cultural knowledge building, and the protection of Country’s intellectual property. The partnership also supports access to supply chain opportunities for Yindjibarndi owned businesses, strengthening economic participation beyond equity ownership alone.
