Our Story

The Pilbara sits at the centre of Australia’s energy future

As global demand for cleaner power accelerates, so too does the need to decarbonise one of the nation’s most important industrial regions, while creating long term, sustainable economic opportunities for the people who call it home. Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation was established to meet this opportunity.

Formed in 2023 as a partnership between Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation and international renewable energy company ACEN Corporation.

Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation was created with a clear vision to align commercial success with cultural responsibility.

Central to this approach is meaningful equity participation, with Yindjibarndi holding between 25 and 50 per cent ownership across all projects, ensuring long term revenue and intergenerational benefit.

ACEN contributes global expertise in solar, wind and energy storage, while Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation brings deep understanding of Community, Culture and Country.

Guided by a Board made up of both Yindjibarndi and ACEN Directors, this partnership supports balanced governance and aligned decision making.

Board of Directors

As one of the largest Indigenous led renewable energy initiatives in Australia, Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation is pursuing the development, construction and operation of wind, solar and energy storage projects of up to 3GW in capacity. These projects are located across approximately 13,000 square kilometres within the Yindjibarndi Native Title Determination Areas in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

At our core is a simple belief. We all want energy that is reliable, sustainable and something we can be proud of.

By combining technical excellence with cultural integrity, Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation is advancing renewable energy projects that help shape a cleaner energy future grounded in respect, partnership and long term value.
