About
The problem we solve
To support our customers in identifying the optimum Renewable Energy Solutions to deploy at their sites, Acacia Energy has developed a detailed, commercially focused methodology to assess and compare the merits of various Renewable Energy Solutions and determine a commercially robust recommended option for our customers.
Some of the services offered could include, but are not limited to;
Renewable Asset Feasibility and Design
Battery Design, Engineering, Management
Utility Scale Solar Design, Build, Operate and Manage
Grid Application and Management
Solar Tender Process Management
Measurement, Verification and Compliance
Output
What an Acacia assessment looks at
Solar PV — Displaces grid electricity, locks in a portion of your cost for 20 years, earns VEECs.
Battery Storage (BESS) — Time-shifts solar, protects critical loads from outages, unlocks wholesale market revenue.
Bio-Diesel Generation — Backup power and demand-charge mitigation with lower carbon intensity.
Autonomous Monitoring & Control — Acacia’s PowerXchange platform bids assets into the wholesale and FCAS markets in real time.
Solar & BESS PPAs — No capex; you pay for the energy, not the asset.
How
Acacia Energy's Cost Benefit Analysis Tool
Acacia Energy has developed a proprietary Cost Benefit Analysis Tool (CBAT) to perform the detailed analysis of each Renewable Energy Solution option that is considered.
The CBAT takes the inputs and performs a full simulation of how each element of a Renewable Energy Solution would have operated if installed in each 30-minute interval of the year which matches to the meter data that has been provided and selects the optimal value for controllable assets (BESS and Bio-Diesel Enabled Generation) for each interval on the basis that Autonomous Monitoring and Control has been deployed.
This therefore determines the optimal value for each Renewable Energy Solution across the entire year, based on the performance of the solution elements in each interval of the National Electricity Market. This unparalleled resolution of analysis ensures that we are providing the most robust analysis and recommendations possible.

Help & Support
Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see your question here, we’re always available to help. Get in touch to discuss your needs, explore opportunities, or clarify how we work.
What does Acacia Energy do?
We help Australian businesses reduce energy costs, generate new revenue, and reach net-zero through tailored solar, battery and bio-diesel solutions. As a registered AEMO market participant, we don't just install assets — our proprietary PowerXchange platform autonomously operates them in the National Electricity Market on your behalf.
Do you install solar and batteries?
Yes — from 100kW SME systems to multi-megawatt industrial installations. We're technology-agnostic and work with leading battery brands including Sungrow, Jinko, Evo, Pixie, Chelion, Gelion and PotusEdge. We also deploy grid-synchronised bio-diesel generators for peak shaving and market participation.
What return can I expect?
Our customers regularly see total energy bill reductions of around 60%, with payback periods typically in the 3–5 year range. Exact returns depend on your energy profile and which services you take — a free energy audit gives you a defensible number before you commit.
What makes Acacia different from a regular solar installer?
A typical installer sells you panels and walks away. We treat your assets as an ongoing revenue-generating system through our OBE platform, AEMO market accreditation, and Generation Management as a Service (GMaaS). Your assets pay you back, not just offset a bill.
Who do you work with?
Australian businesses across cold storage, food and beverage, wineries, manufacturing, mining, agriculture and community energy. Clients include Fonterra, Noumi, Andrew Peace Wines, De Bortoli, Austco Polar and Fresh Freight Tasmania. We work with everyone from SMEs to large enterprises.
How can my renewable assets earn revenue?
Through four streams: the AEMO wholesale spot market, FCAS (Frequency Control Ancillary Services), DNSP demand response payments, and avoided peak demand charges via peak shaving. Acacia is the market participant — you just collect the share.
