ZEN Energy, once seen as an emerging player in Australia's renewables transition, has entered voluntary administration. The move means externally appointed administrators step in to manage the company's financial affairs.
The company said its viability had been affected by "wholesale electricity volatility". Swings in wholesale prices can make it harder for energy suppliers to balance costs and revenue.
The development points to the financial pressures facing some firms involved in the energy transition. Administrators will assess the company's future and the position of its creditors in the period ahead, with the outcome watched by others in the renewables sector across Australia.
