About Sherwood Power

Better energy
starts with
better thinking

We bring engineering and commercial experience together to help businesses make more of renewable energy, reduce energy costs and move their electrification plans forward.

Why we're here

Renewables generate electricity
Flexibility creates value

Businesses need energy on their own schedule. Solar and wind work to a different one.

We develop storage that helps close that gap by banking surplus renewable energy on site for later use. Our focus is practical: help businesses manage energy costs, work within connection constraints and support changing energy needs.

The story behind the story

Three generations
of engineering ingenuity

A family engineering story spanning more than 110 years, with a continuing interest in finding value where others see waste.

From Sherwood Hunter’s work recovering wool and developing coal-washing processes, to George and Sue Hunter’s role in industrial filtration, practical problem-solving runs through the family’s history.

Today, Alex Hunter brings that outlook to Sherwood Power: helping businesses bank renewable energy on site and use it when it matters.

What we've developed

The Free Air Bank

The Sherwood FAB — Free Air Bank — uses air and water to store energy. It uses surplus renewable electricity to bank energy on site for later use, helping businesses make efficient use of renewables, expand electrification and reduce energy costs.

Generate | Bank | Use. Renewable electricity can come from on-site generation, the grid or both. The FAB banks energy at your site so it can be used when demand rises, renewable generation falls or grid electricity is more expensive.

Our approach goes beyond electricity alone. Depending on the configuration and application, heating, cooling or compressed air outputs may offer additional value for the site.

How we approach the challenge

Start with the site
Keep the possibilities open

01

Understand the need

Start with energy demand, available renewable supply, connection limits and the plans energy constraints may be holding back.

02

Connect the thinking

Bring engineering requirements, energy costs and commercial priorities together to identify where the FAB could add value.

03

Plan beyond today

Consider electrification, future loads, service access and opportunities to expand the system as the site's needs change.
