Leading the conversation on renewable energy across Oceania
24 Apr 2026The energy sector across Oceania is changing rapidly, and the need for strategic, senior‑level conversation has never been greater. Oceania Renewable Power Summit 2026 is being developed as a forum for the leaders shaping energy policy, infrastructure, investment, and innovation across the region. Bringing together government, industry, utilities, finance, and technology, the Summit will focus on what comes next for secure, resilient, and sustainable energy systems. Programme and speaker announcements are coming soon.
Read more →Why this summit matters
- renewables are now price‑setting, exposing delivery and system risks
- storage has moved to balance‑sheet decisions, not pilot projects
- networks are the constraint, with queues, congestion and stability limiting build‑out
- affordability and reliability are under pressure, forcing real trade‑offs
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 and round tables.
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
