Akaysha Energy is committed to the delivery, development and deployment of large-scale energy projects in Australia and around the world.

We have recently partnered with Malabar Resources to develop a flagship energy project in the Hunter Valley region of NSW, referred to as the Mayfield Energy Precinct.

Malabar Resources has a number of existing operations in the region, including mining, solar and agricultural assets, and has a long, demonstrated history of employing locals and supporting community organisations.

The Mayfield Energy Precinct would be a critical piece of energy infrastructure that is strategically located within the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) and adjacent to the existing regional high‑voltage electricity network.

Key components of the Mayfield Energy Precinct include:

• A data centre campus with IT capacity of up to 1 GW.
• Grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with capacity of up to 2 GW / 8 GWh.
• Supporting electricity transmission infrastructure for connection to the grid.

• Strategically located within Hunter-Central Coast REZ, adjacent to high-voltage transmission infrastructure and co-located with existing mining operations.
• Grid-scale BESS that would provide dispatchable energy and load-shaping capacity, improving energy reliability and system strength.
• Proposed BESS capacity (i.e. 2 GW / 8 GWh) could supply the peak-period electricity demand of approximately 2 million households over 4-hours, which is equivalent to all households in the Greater Sydney region.
• Would enable storage of renewable energy in the Hunter-Central Coast REZ and assist Australia and NSW in meeting emissions reduction targets.
• Opportunity for diversified investment in the Muswellbrook Local Government Area and Upper Hunter region, including encouraging further development in other industries that rely on data centre storage or high voltage connections.
• Would provide employment opportunities and capital/operational expenditure in the region, supporting the transition from coal mining:
  • Approximately 400-500 full-time equivalent (FTE) construction personnel on average, with up to 800‑1,000 FTE during peak periods.
  • Approximately 100-200 FTE operational personnel across the BESS and data centre for the life of the operations.
  • Indirect employment opportunities in supporting/related industries.
  • Procurement of local services and suppliers, where possible.
  • Up to $10 billion in total CapEx investment across the entire Mayfield precinct.

Preliminary planning and grid connection design works for the Mayfield Energy Precinct have commenced, including discussions with potential development partners and key stakeholders.

Comprehensive environmental, cultural, and technical studies and community engagement will be undertaken to inform and support an application for development consent from the NSW Government.

An Environmental Impact Statement will indicatively be lodged with the NSW Government in the first half of 2027.
