Feedback
"One of the best...conferences...I’ve attended recently"
- 2025 delegate

Why attend?
Attend to:
- understand where renewable investment is heading
- learn from active solar, wind and BESS projects
- meet developers, investors, networks and regulators
- identify emerging opportunities across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific
- benchmark your strategy against industry leaders

Who this summit is for
This summit is for senior leaders and practitioners from:
- renewable generation developers and operators
- network owners and system operators
- investors, lenders, and infrastructure funds
- regulators and market bodies
- EPCs, OEMs, and technology providers

Summit structure
The summit is designed as a delivery‑focused working forum, combining plenary sessions, panels, facilitated discussions, round tables, and excellent networking.
The programme brings policy, capital, engineering and operations into the same room, encouraging candid discussion on what is actually working – and what isn’t – as renewables scale across Oceania.
Day two runs parallel streams for Australia & New Zealand and for Pacific Island markets, enabling deeper, context‑specific conversations within a genuinely regional forum.

What the summit will deliver
- how to build at pace: construction, supply chain capacity and lessons from scaling up
- how markets behave at high renewables penetration: pricing, integration, congestion and system constraints
- what makes projects bankable now: storage economics, revenue stacking and investment discipline
- which policy and regulatory settings accelerate delivery – and which still slow it down
