History

Establishment and pre-takeover

In October 2016, Tilt Renewables was demerged from Trustpower, with Tilt Renewables taking ownership of all operational wind assets and the wind and solar development pipeline, and Trustpower retaining all hydro assets. Tilt Renewables was dual listed on the ASX and NZX with the ticker TLT.
In December 2019, the Snowtown Wind Farm was sold to Palisade Investment Partners.
On 15 March 2021, a takeover was announced with support from the largest shareholders and independent board members. The proposed scheme of arrangement would be worth by a consortium where the New Zealand assets would be taken over by Mercury NZ and the Australian assets by Powering Australian Renewables Fund – itself a consortium of AGL Energy, QIC Global Infrastructure Fund and the Australian Government's Future Fund.

Post-takeover

In August 2021, Tilt Renewables scheme of arrangement was implemented. PowAR took over the Australian assets and operations of the former Tilt Renewables, making it the largest private developer and generator of wind and solar electricity in Australia. The combined Australian organisation was subsequently renamed back to Tilt Renewables. It holds the assets of both former entities, and was owned 40% by QIC, 40% Future Fund and 20% AGL until November 2025 when AGL sold 19.9% of its 20% stake to QIC and Future Fund.
