International speaker line-up continues to take shape
14 May 2026The Oceania Renewable Power Summit 2026 programme continues to take shape, with leading international experts joining this year's speaker line-up in Auckland, New Zealand | Aotearoa on the 7 and 8 October. Bringing global insights and regional expertise, the first confirmed international speakers will explore some of the key opportunities and challenges shaping Oceania's renewable energy future. Insights from confirmed sessions:
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
