The partnership aims to develop up to 3GW of solar capacity and marks Gunvor’s expansion into the solar sector alongside renewable energy specialist Quercus
LONDON -- Gunvor Group (“Gunvor”), a leading global energy commodities trading company, together with Quercus Real Assets Limited (“Quercus”), the London-based renewable specialist focused on international investments within the Energy Transition, proudly announce a landmark solar development partnership that targets the development of up to 3 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Italy.
Under the terms of the deal, Quercus will draw on its established track record of developing renewable projects—from permitting to “ready to build” status—and combine that with Gunvor’s ability to fund, manage, and optimize assets through power purchasing agreements (“PPAs”). The solar sites will be strategically located across all regions in Italy, granting Gunvor the option to acquire and enter into PPAs with the assets.
“Gunvor’s first material investment in the solar space fully aligns with Nyera’s commitment to the Energy Transition and our ambition to build up a renewable power portfolio.” said Fredrik Törnqvist, Managing Director of Nyera, Gunvor’s renewables investment vehicle.
The Italian solar market is among the most advanced in Europe, thanks to a well-developed regulatory framework and recent legislative changes that support the integration of solar infrastructure with agriculture.
“Given the essential role of agriculture in the Italian economy, it is crucial to align solar investments with agricultural preservation to ensure long-term sustainability,” said Diego Biasi, co-founder and CEO of Quercus. “At Quercus, we have consistently invested in renewables to enhance our surroundings. I am pleased to collaborate with a prominent partner like Gunvor, sharing our values and advancing our successful investment initiatives.”
Aldo Della Valle, Gunvor’s Head of Power & Natural Gas Trading, added: “This landmark solar venture will further complement Gunvor’s recently announced intention to acquire bp’s Spanish powerplant and is another step in our strategy of building up a portfolio in Europe composed of conventional flexibility and renewable power positions to enhance our power and gas trading activities.”
The deal remains subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

Gunvor Group Ltd (“Gunvor”), one of the world’s leading independent commodities trading companies, today announces the following financial information for the year ended 31 December 2024:

Revenue: US $136 billion
Volumes: 232 million MT
Gross profit: US $1.8 billion
Net profit after taxes: US $729 million
Equity: US $6.5 billion
Gunvor continued its track record of solid performance, posting a net income of US $729 million. The result reflects a return to more normalized energy markets compared with the previous two years, which featured significant volatility related to the global pandemic, the energy crisis, and international conflicts that had roiled energy markets.
The Group’s revenue increased to US $136 billion for the year, led by the growth of physically traded volumes of crude oil and refined products, which compensated for the lower-price commodities environment. Gunvor also continued to focus on trading Energy Transition commodities, which comprised almost 30% of total traded volumes.
While the Group’s result is lower than the highs of recent years, it remains above the pre-pandemic era and stands as the fourth-highest historically. Businesses related to the Energy Transition and shipping and chartering balanced those operating in the stabilized crude oil and refined product markets. Profits were further impacted by impairments, including for the Rotterdam refinery, whose processing units are being reviewed for mothballing.
During the year, the company formally entered or expanded into new market sectors through significant investments in: power generation in Spain; retail fuel distribution in Pakistan; upstream natural gas production in the United States; and solar development in Italy.
At year end, the Group’s equity stood at US $6.5 billion, which serves as a solid foundation for the future development of Gunvor’s trading and investment activities.
Gunvor’s shareholding at year-end stood at 84.79% held by Torbjörn Törnqvist, the majority beneficial owner, with the remaining 15.21% held by the Gunvor Employee Shareplan. There are no outside shareholders or economic interests.
Brisbane, Australia - Akaysha Energy, a market leader in large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), and Gunvor Group a global energy powerhouse, are pleased to announce a long term Offtake Agreement for Akaysha’s large scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), in Brendale, Queensland.
The risk-hedging offtake product, known as a Battery Revenue Swap Agreement, provides revenue certainty for the Brendale BESS while allowing Akaysha Energy to optimise operations and respond to market signals. Currently under construction, the project is scheduled to commence operations by early-to-mid 2026. The parties have also agreed to investigate similar arrangements for Akaysha’s Japanese Battery storage projects.
Located in Brisbane’s outer Northern suburbs, the Brendale BESS will have a capacity of 205 MW / 410 MWh, making it capable of charging from excess solar generation and storing enough energy to power up to 200,000 homes for up to 2 hours. The project’s Grid Forming capability will increase the robustness of the network voltage in the nearby major Queensland transmission infrastructure.
Market Innovation & Economic Viability
For Akaysha, the Offtake Agreement demonstrates its position as a market leader in securing innovative offtake agreements. This is the third Over-the-Counter (OTC) contract across its portfolio, with these bilateral offtake contracts providing better alignment and outcomes for both parties.
This Offtake Agreement follows the A$650 million debt financing Akaysha secured from a domestic and global syndicate of eleven banks to fund the construction of its 1,660MWh Orana BESS, complemented by a 12-year, 200 MW virtual toll offtake agreement with EnergyAustralia. And in July 2023, Akaysha completed what was the first Battery Revenue Swap Agreement of its kind at the time, with Re2 Capital, for its 150MW Ulinda Park BESS, in Queensland’s Western Downs.
With this Offtake Agreement in place, Akaysha’s total contracted capacity across its portfolio of four assets in construction now exceeds 1.6 gigawatts.
Importantly, the Offtake Agreement demonstrates the economic viability of large-scale batteries and that they can deliver appropriate returns through wholesale market pricing, which will further accelerate the deployment of energy storage infrastructure.
Paul Curnow, Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer at Akaysha Energy, commented:
“This offtake with Gunvor highlights the growing sophistication of financial products Akaysha is developing with its partners to support Australia’s evolving energy landscape. The partnership ensures revenue certainty for Brendale BESS while preserving the flexibility needed to adapt to market dynamics. It’s an essential step in advancing large-scale battery projects like ours, which are critical for strengthening grid stability, ensuring long-term reliability, and supporting the transition as coal-fired power stations retire.”
With significant retirement of Queensland’s coal generation over the next decade (source), large-scale BESS projects like Brendale will play a pivotal role in enhancing grid stability and ensuring the grid remains resilient during this transition, particularly in managing unforeseen coal generator outages as they retire and addressing renewable intermittency.
Commenting on how the Agreement points to the growing opportunity of the Australian energy market and the role global partners can play supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy future, David Maher, Head of APAC Power Trading & Origination, added:
“This partnership will be an important part of Gunvor’s APAC strategy as we expand our involvement in the energy transition and provide risk management services. This landmark Agreement reflects the growing role of batteries in delivering much needed flexible and reliable energy solutions. We look forward to furthering our commitment to innovative, sustainable energy solutions.”
