We can help reduce your carbon footprint.

Solar Energy

Solar energy provides a clean, renewable, and increasingly cost-effective source of electricity that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions. It offers long-term price stability, minimal operating costs, and scalability from residential to utility-scale projects. Solar systems can be deployed close to demand, reducing transmission losses, while supporting energy security, grid resilience, and sustainable economic growth across communities and industries.

At R25 Renewable Energy Fund, we recognise that every participant has different goals. Some investors seek exposure to utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure without the responsibility of land ownership, while others own strategic land assets and wish to unlock additional value from their property. To accommodate these differing objectives, R25 primarily offers three participation models. Each has been specifically designed to provide a unique balance of income, ownership, flexibility, and long-term value creation while supporting New Zealand's transition to renewable energy generation. Whether you are a wholesale investor, rural landowner, iwi organisation, airport, council, industrial landowner, or agricultural operator, there is an R25 participation model designed to align with your long-term objectives.

Wholesale Investment Model

Designed for investors seeking infrastructure-backed renewable energy exposure.

The Wholesale Investment Partnership provides qualifying wholesale investors with the opportunity to participate in utility-scale solar generation projects without requiring land ownership, operational involvement, or project management responsibilities. This model is ideally suited to investors seeking long-term participation in renewable energy infrastructure while benefiting from professionally managed project delivery, operations, and asset management. Investors gain exposure to large-scale renewable energy assets and the long-term revenue generated by those projects while remaining entirely passive participants.

Ideal For:

• Wholesale investors
• Family offices
• Investment funds
• Institutional investors
• High-net-worth investors

Key Benefits:

• No land ownership requirements
• No operational responsibilities
• Utility-scale renewable energy exposure
• Long-term infrastructure-backed returns
• Professionally managed investment platform

Co-Ownership Model

Designed for landowners seeking to maximise long-term value from their property.

The Co-Ownership Partnership allows landowners to participate directly in the long-term revenue generated by renewable energy infrastructure developed on their land. Rather than receiving a fixed lease payment, landowners share in the ongoing financial performance of the project through a co-ownership structure. This model is particularly attractive for rural and agricultural landowners because it enables continued productive use of the land through bi-solar farming practices, allowing livestock grazing and agricultural activities to operate alongside solar generation infrastructure.

Ideal For:

• Rural landowners
• Farmers
• Iwi organisations
• Trusts
• Airports and councils
• Industrial landowners

Key Benefits:

• Long-term participation in project revenues
• Potential for higher lifetime returns
• Retain land ownership
• Continued agricultural productivity through bi-solar farming
• Alignment with long-term landholding strategies

30-Year Lease Partnership

Designed for landowners seeking certainty, simplicity, and stable long-term income.

The 30-Year Lease Partnership provides landowners with a predictable long-term lease income stream while R25 funds, develops, owns, operates, and maintains the renewable energy infrastructure.

This option is often preferred by landowners who wish to preserve ownership of their property while avoiding direct participation in project management, operations, maintenance, compliance, or performance obligations. It delivers a stable income stream and allows landowners to benefit from otherwise underutilised land without committing capital.

Ideal For:

• Rural landowners
• Councils
• Airports
• Industrial landowners
• Property trusts
• Passive landholding entities

Key Benefits:

• Stable long-term lease income
• No capital contribution required
• No operational responsibilities
• Retain land ownership
• Minimal management involvement
• Long-term certainty and simplicity
