Connecting landholders to Australia’s renewable energy infrastructure build-out
Australia is in the middle of one of the largest infrastructure transformations in its history. Thousands of kilometres of new transmission lines, substations, solar farms, wind corridors, and hydrogen pipelines need to be built across rural and regional land over the coming decade. For landholders, this represents a significant and time-sensitive commercial opportunity.
This page is about clean energy transmission and infrastructure hosting. If you are looking for carbon farming, biodiversity credits, or environmental planting opportunities, visit our Natural Capital Marketplace page instead.
KG2 helps landholders understand whether their property is suited to host or support clean energy transmission infrastructure, and connects them directly with the developers, network operators, and investors delivering these projects across Australia.
What kinds of projects are we talking about?
Clean energy transmission projects on agricultural land take many forms. KG2 works across the full spectrum of infrastructure types, including:
Easements and access arrangements supporting infrastructure access across private land.
Wind energy corridors across elevated or coastal pastoral land where wind resources are strong.
Hydrogen pipeline corridors connecting production facilities to export terminals or industrial users.
Solar farm development on cropping or grazing land suited to large-scale photovoltaic installation.
High-voltage transmission lines running across rural properties to connect renewable generation to the grid.
Substation and switchyard hosting on land adjacent to grid infrastructure.
Grid connection points for on-farm renewable generation including solar, wind, and battery storage.
Each project type has different land requirements, revenue structures, and participation models. KG2’s role is to help you understand which opportunities apply to your property and connect you with the right project proponents.
How KG2 Engages Landholders
KG2’s clean energy transmission engagement model follows four clear stages:
Opportunity Mapping and Research
KG2 conducts nationwide market research and geospatial analysis to identify properties that sit within or adjacent to transmission corridors, renewable energy zones, and infrastructure development areas. This analysis draws on AEMO planning data, satellite imagery, land-use records, and KG2’s verified farmer database to pinpoint landholders who may have hosting or access opportunities on their property.
Landholder Awareness and Outreach
Once suitable properties are identified, KG2 reaches out directly to landholders through targeted phone, digital, and direct mail campaigns to make them aware of the commercial opportunities relevant to their specific location and property type. Many landholders are unaware that their land sits within a planned energy corridor until KG2 makes contact.
Feasibility Qualification
KG2 assesses infrastructure feasibility at the property level, screening for site characteristics, location relative to planned corridors, landholder intent, and project compatibility. Only qualified opportunities are progressed to developer connection, saving time for both landholders and project proponents.
Developer and Investor Connection
Qualified landholders are connected directly to the renewable energy developers, network operators, and infrastructure investors within KG2’s partnership ecosystem. KG2 facilitates the introduction and supports the relationship through the early stages of project engagement.
How to Get Started
Whether you are a landholder who wants to understand what opportunities may exist on your property, or a developer seeking to identify and engage landholders along a planned transmission corridor, the process starts with a conversation.
Contact KG2 to discuss your property or project requirements. Our team will assess whether there is an immediate opportunity to explore and outline the next steps from there. There is no obligation and no cost to landholders for an initial enquiry.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from KG2's Natural Capital Marketplace?
The Natural Capital Marketplace focuses on carbon farming, biodiversity credits, environmental plantings, and nature-based income streams for landholders. This page is specifically about clean energy transmission and infrastructure hosting, including transmission lines, substations, solar farms, wind corridors, and hydrogen pipelines. The two products serve different markets and different project types, though some landholders may be eligible for both.
What kinds of clean energy projects does KG2 help landholders engage with?
KG2 works across the full range of renewable energy infrastructure types including high-voltage transmission lines, substations, solar farm development, wind energy corridors, hydrogen pipelines, and grid connection points. The right opportunity depends on your property’s location, size, and characteristics.
Is there any cost to landholders for engaging with KG2?
There is no cost to landholders for an initial enquiry or feasibility conversation. KG2’s commercial relationships are with project developers and investors. Our role is to ensure landholders have the information they need to make an informed decision about participation.
Who else uses KG2's clean energy transmission service?
Renewable energy developers, network operators, infrastructure investors, and government agencies use KG2 to identify suitable land, engage landholders at scale, and build project pipelines efficiently across rural and regional Australia.
