Gunvor moves physical energy from where it is sourced and stored to where it is demanded most.
Melbourne, Australia – June 2026 – Gunvor Group, a leading global energy trading company, today announced an expansion of its APAC power platform through two connected transactions in South Australia: a long-term electricity supply agreement with Firmus Technologies for its planned AI infrastructure operations, and a long-term offtake agreement supporting GreenPoint Energy’s Koolunga Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project.
Together, the transactions establish an integrated supply model linking large-scale electricity demand with renewable procurement, flexible load capability and battery firming infrastructure, supporting Firmus’ long-term Australian energy requirements.
Under the 12-year agreement, Gunvor will supply electricity to Firmus’ South Australia operations from mid-2027 through supply arrangements designed to support Firmus’ long-term growth. As part of that structure, Gunvor is committing to underwrite 1.2 GW of additional renewable generation and 1.5 GWh of new battery storage capacity by 2032, while incorporating demand flexibility during tight supply periods. In doing so, Gunvor and Firmus will take the market and tenor risk needed to help unlock investment in the long-dated renewable and firming capacity required for the energy transition.
A key part of the initial firming portfolio is GreenPoint Energy’s Koolunga BESS project. At 200 MW / 800 MWh, Koolunga is expected to provide more than half of Firmus’ initial contracted battery firming requirement and represents the first major storage component supporting the broader Firmus–Gunvor supply portfolio.
Under the offtake agreement, GreenPoint Energy will secure long-term revenue support for the project, while Gunvor will secure dispatchable storage capacity and risk management capability to support customer delivery. Koolunga is targeted for commercial operations in Q1 2028 and is located adjacent to ElectraNet’s Brinkworth 275 kV substation in South Australia’s Mid North.
The combined structure demonstrates how long-term customer demand can be coordinated with renewable procurement and firming infrastructure through a single commercial solution. For Gunvor, the transactions represent another step in the expansion of its APAC power platform and provide a model for future customer-led energy solutions across the National Electricity Market.
“The AI revolution will be built on energy infrastructure, and this agreement shows how commodity traders can play a critical role in making that future possible. This milestone underscores the evolution of Gunvor into a broader energy solutions provider—one that can mobilize capital, manage risk, and deliver physical supply to support strategic infrastructure projects,” said Aldo Della Valle, Global Head of Power & Natural Gas Trading. “As power demand accelerates globally, Gunvor is exceptionally well positioned to bring the same capabilities to developers and customers across North America, Europe, Japan and Australia.”
Firmus Co-CEO Oliver Curtis said: “AI is going to be one of the largest new sources of electricity demand Australia has ever seen. The question is whether that demand fights the energy transition or helps to fund it. Firmus’ answer, set out today in our Australian Energy Policy, is that we should back it and accelerate it, and this agreement is the first proof. New renewables, new firming, and a load that gets out of the way when the system is stressed, all on arm’s length terms. This is the model we will build on across the country.”
Mahesh Reddy Indluri, Co-Chief Executive Officer, GreenPoint Energy, said: “GreenPoint Energy’s partnership with Gunvor on Koolunga highlights the importance of strategic long-term offtake structures for battery energy storage systems to support Australia’s data centre ambitions. This offtake structure positions Koolunga within a broader firm load supply model designed to specifically support large scale commercial customers with renewable energy.”

London – Gunvor Group, a leading global energy commodities trading company, announces that it has received the first issuance of credits from its cookstove project in Sierra Leone. The credits are eligible for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
The cookstove project, which is implemented by DelAgua, has distributed 250,000 fuel-efficient stoves to households across seven districts in Sierra Leone: Koinadungu, Moyamba, Kenema, Bo, Tonkolili, Kambia and Western Rural. Along with the stove, each household receives one-on-one education on the health and environmental benefits of clean cooking. They also receive ongoing support during the stove’s 10-year lifespan, delivered by a local network of over 1,600 youth ambassadors by DelAgua, providing valuable employment and skills training.
“Gunvor believes that investing in cookstove projects is one of the most impactful carbon credit opportunities; they deliver measurable emissions reductions while simultaneously improving health, reducing deforestation, and supporting local livelihoods in vulnerable communities,” said Darren Gurner, Head of Voluntary Carbon at Gunvor. “With CORSIA, we have further strengthened the credibility of our Sierra Leone program by aligning with a rigorous, internationally recognized framework backed by the aviation sector and overseen by global regulatory standards.”
CORSIA provides airlines and other aviation sector participants with an internationally-recognized framework through which they can meet their emissions reduction obligations. In line with CORSIA requirements, the project has secured a Letter of Authorisation (LoA) from the Government of Sierra Leone. The projects first small issuance has received the CORSIA tag through insurance, ensuring full alignment with CORSIA eligibility requirements and providing enhanced confidence for buyers.
One major benefit of cookstoves is that they use significantly less wood than traditional cooking methods, so fewer trees are felled. The project also has significant health benefits from reduced smoke in the cooking process as well as time saving: people do not have to spend time and money collecting firewood, and cooking times are quicker.
DelAgua’s CEO, Euan McDougall, said, “We believe that no rural household should be left behind in the global transition to clean cooking. Our Live Well project empowers communities through access to clean cooking, while delivering credible and measurable high-quality climate outcomes and so can contribute meaningfully to the global aviation sector’s climate commitments. We are proud to partner with Gunvor to extend this programme to 250,000 households across Sierra Leone, transforming more than two million lives.”
The carbon credits are now available for purchase through Gunvor’s carbon trading desk, with future issuances from later this year being sold on a pre-issuance basis.
Gunvor has recently started work on two further cookstove projects, one in Sri Lanka and the second, again with DelAgua, in The Gambia. In addition, it is funding a forest planting project in Colombia, from which carbon credits will be available in 2026, as well as working on a number of other projects which are at different stages of the investment process
