Ark Energy is an Australian renewable energy company that specialises in the development and operation of utility-scale onshore wind and solar energy generation, battery energy storage systems and renewable hydrogen production.

It is a subsidiary of Korea Zinc Co. Ltd., a global top-tier nonferrous metal company with a proud 25-year history in Australia through Ark Energy's sister company, Sun Metals Corporation and the Sun Metals zinc refinery near Townsville in Queensland.

Korea Zinc is an innovator and leader in the energy transition and has committed to the Climate Group's RE100 initiative, and powering its global operations from 100% renewable electricity by 2050.

Ark Energy is focused on decarbonising the operations of Sun Metals and Korea Zinc, supporting other major industrial and commercial customers to reach their emissions reduction targets, and contributing to the transition of Australia's national electricity market.

The team has an unrivalled track record in developing utility-scale onshore wind and solar energy generation projects in Australia. In 2022 Ark Energy acquired Epuron, then one of Australia’s longest operating and most successful renewable energy developers, involved in some of the earliest, highest yielding and largest wind farms in Australia.

Ark Energy's portfolio includes projects in development in New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, and operating assets in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Ark Energy is also at the forefront of developing Australia’s renewable hydrogen industry. Its SunHQ Hydrogen Hub, co-located with the refinery in Townsville, is one of the largest fully integrated green hydrogen production and heavy vehicle refuelling facilities in Australia.

Ark Energy is a signatory to the Australian Clean Energy Council's Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Projects, which is a voluntary set of commitments to engage respectfully with communities, be sensitive to environmental and cultural values, and make a positive contribution to the regions in which we operate.
