Powering Australia Since 2013
Established with the idea of ‘taking electricity where it isn’t’, RedEarth was co-founded by Charlie Walker, Chris Winter, and Bruce Ebzery in 2013 and named for the red centre of Australia, where they initially sought to take electricity. As energy use evolved with technology, solar, and electric vehicles, we recognised electricity could be more than just power – it could be an asset.
Today, RedEarth combines advanced battery storage with proprietary software to give homes and businesses their own Private Power Plant. By putting control back into customers’ hands, RedEarth helps Australians cut costs, generate revenue, and play an active role in the nation’s renewable energy future.
Leadership that delivers.
