Frequently Asked Questions

What is the stage gated development process?

The stage gated development process is the structured model we use to progress utility scale solar and battery projects. Projects are advanced through clear stages including land identification, feasibility, pre lodgement, design and applications, EPC and long term operation. Each stage acts as a checkpoint to confirm that the project is technically, commercially and environmentally viable before moving forward.

How does stage gated development reduce risk?

By breaking development into clear stages, risks are addressed early and projects are advanced responsibly. At each stage we test technical performance, regulatory requirements and financial structure. Only projects that meet these checks progress, which reduces investor exposure and provides confidence to landowners, councils and energy retailers.

What is Renewable Energy as a Service (REaaS)?

Renewable Energy as a Service allows businesses to access solar and battery systems without paying upfront capital. Healm funds, installs and operates the system on site, and the customer simply buys the electricity generated at an agreed rate, usually 20% to 30% lower than grid supply. This model removes barriers to renewable adoption while delivering immediate savings.

Who benefits from REaaS?

REaaS is well suited to commercial and industrial businesses, schools and institutions that want lower energy costs and measurable sustainability outcomes without having to own and maintain a system. It offers predictable pricing, operational reliability and positive contributions to ESG and Net Zero targets.

What role do Healm’s partners play?

We work with Strategic Project Delivery (SPD), whose ISO accredited expertise ensures quality engineering and on site delivery, and with Integrum, who align funding pathways under a licensed investment framework. These partnerships mean every project is backed by technical depth, financial structure and trusted delivery capability.

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?

A Virtual Power Plant is a platform that connects battery systems across different sites and coordinates how they charge and discharge in response to market signals. This supports grid stability and creates revenue opportunities for asset owners. Healm does not operate VPPs directly, but we enable our projects to connect through trusted partners so they can participate in the energy market.

How does Healm support ESG outcomes?

Environmental, Social and Governance principles are built into our approach. We minimise land disturbance, undertake early environmental assessments, and design systems that reduce lifecycle emissions. Socially, we engage openly with landowners, councils and communities, support regional economies through local procurement and promote safe and inclusive workplaces. Governance is maintained through strong compliance frameworks and transparent reporting.

What types of projects does Healm deliver?

We develop utility scale solar and battery storage projects and deliver Renewable Energy as a Service systems for businesses and schools. We also work with partners to enable integration into Virtual Power Plants and to support the transition to electrified transport.

What is Healm’s role during EPC and construction?

Once approvals are secured, Healm leads the commercial coordination and procurement process. SPD take responsibility for on site construction and commissioning, supported by their ISO accredited quality, safety and environmental systems. Their involvement throughout the earlier stages of development ensures a smooth handover into delivery.

What types of projects does Healm deliver?

We develop utility scale solar and battery storage projects and deliver Renewable Energy as a Service systems for businesses and schools. We also work with partners to enable integration into Virtual Power Plants and to support the transition to electrified transport.

How are projects funded?

Funding pathways are aligned with each stage of development through our partnership with Integrum, who operate under a licensed investment framework. This ensures projects are financially structured in a way that attracts investment and supports long term success, giving confidence to both investors and clients.

How can landowners get involved?

Landowners with suitable properties for solar and storage projects can contact us to explore opportunities. Healm manages the feasibility, approvals and design process, working in partnership to deliver long term value for both the landowner and the energy market.
