Symphony Infrastructure Partners is a Sydney-based energy transition infrastructure services platform that develops, delivers, owns and operates high-voltage grid-connection infrastructure for Australia's renewable energy, storage and data-centre projects. Founded in 2022 by Steve Butler, Symphony offers an end-to-end integrated solution - from grid strategy and engineering design through HV construction, commissioning, operations and asset ownership - aiming to eliminate the connection bottlenecks that slow the rollout of wind, solar, battery and digital infrastructure. In 2024 it raised A$488 million in Series A financing led by Blackstone to fund a series of acquisitions and build one of Australia's leading independent connection-infrastructure platforms.
