Australia

Utility-Scale, C&I and Residential — All Running at Once
Annual market value
A$16.4b*
Growth · CAGR to 2030
11%*
Renewables share of generation
42.7%

Renewables share of generation: Clean Energy Council, Clean Energy Australia 2026 (CY2025).
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

Growth here doesn’t automatically become margin. Connection risk, channel economics, customer acquisition costs and delivery margins all have to line up — together.

Typical entry point

A two-week commercial discovery call on one channel or one delivery-cost line.

Renewables share of generation
88.5%

Renewables share of generation: MBIE, Energy in New Zealand 2026 (CY2025).
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

A handful of gentailers set the terms of trade here. Entry economics turn on which channel you can actually reach and at what cost — not on total demand — and the addressable slice is usually narrower than the headline number suggests.

Typical entry point

A market-entry read on addressable segment and route to market.

Renewables share of generation
~3%

Renewables share of generation: derived from EMA/MTI — about 95% of generation is imported natural gas; confirm against Singapore Energy Statistics.
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

Land constraint puts the value in rooftop, imports and how the regional entity is structured — not in installed volume. Most decisions here are capital and structuring decisions wearing an energy label.

Typical entry point

A structuring review across the regional entity and the C&I pipeline.

Philippines

Fast Pipeline Growth, Thin Delivery Base
Annual market value
US$3.8b*
Growth · CAGR to 2030

Renewables share of generation
22%

Renewables share of generation: Department of Energy — 28,193 GWh of 126,941 GWh (2025).
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

Winning work is not the constraint. Staffing and costing delivery to a contracted margin is, because the pipeline is growing faster than the qualified delivery base and cost assumptions written at bid stage rarely survive mobilisation.

Typical entry point

A cost-to-serve and delivery capacity discovery call on one active programme.

Malaysia

Programme-Driven Demand, Tender Discipline

Renewables share of generation

Renewables share of generation: Ember, April 2026 — fossil 79%, solar and wind 2%.
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

Demand arrives in programme rounds and corporate PPAs, so timing and eligibility decide returns more than price does. Bidding into the wrong round with the right number is the most common way margin is lost.

Typical entry point

A bid positioning review against the current programme round.

Vietnam

Largest Installed Base, Least Settled Terms
Annual market value
US$4.6b*
Growth · CAGR to 2030
16%*
Renewables share of generation
45%

Renewables share of generation: Ember, April 2026 — fossil 55%, solar and wind 12%.
* Market value and CAGR are indicative estimates, not sourced figures.

Commercial pressure

The largest installed base in Southeast Asia and the least settled commercial framework around it. Bankability, PPA terms and curtailment risk decide whether volume becomes return, and they move faster than most entry theses are updated.

Typical entry point

A bankability and offtake risk read on one asset or one entry thesis.

Market view

Australia-Led. APAC When the Economics Make Sense.

Australian businesses expand into APAC by starting with a commercial read of the market, not a country checklist. We run six markets through the same lens — Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam — and Australia is where we deliver most of our work, which gives us a real benchmark for judging the other five.

Every APAC market runs on different customers, channels, competitors, regulations, cost structures and risk. What should you consider when entering an APAC market? Eight questions, answered before capital moves: which markets to prioritise, whether addressable demand justifies entry, what route to market will actually work, who the right local partners are, what to charge, what it costs to serve customers locally, what operational capability you need, and what could break the business case.

Which APAC markets offer the fastest growth? Vietnam (16% CAGR to 2030) and the Philippines (14%) are outpacing the region; Singapore (8%) is the slowest but carries the most regional capital and structuring weight. Our role is to find where your business has a genuine right to win in APAC market expansion — then work out how to enter, operate and grow it profitably.
