📢Speakers Announced! The Future of Corporate PPAs in Asia Pacific 2023 was a record year for renewable energy corporate PPAs in Asia Pacific, with the market growing by 35% since 2022. There is strong momentum in the market and the common perception is that corporate PPA activity will grow exponentially. Is it true that it has never been easier for corporations to procure clean energy? What are the significant legal, regulatory, technical and operational challenges in APAC which threaten to stall this growth? Given that expectations of the developers, financiers, and offtakers may not always be the same, is there a need for a market standard corporate PPA? Future Leaders are invited to join us as we explore the evolving role of corporate PPAs across the APAC region and how developers, financiers and corporate offtakers assess the risks and rewards associated with corporate PPAs.

We are pleased to welcome on board David Beaton, Director, John Laing, as a Australia Council Member. We caught up with David recently to ask him a few questions… IPFA - If you could personally change or influence one thing within infrastructure and/or energy, what would it be? David - Australia is in the middle of an energy transition and a huge amount of investment is required to develop new generation & transmission projects in Australia. In a period where governments are more budget constrained, I would like to see how the private sector could help fund these required works and I think this can be achieved through more innovative finance solutions and encouraging a more a more cohesive and stable energy policy throughout Australia.
