SIEWConnects@Sydney – Financing the Energy Systems of the Future


Date 23 Apr 2026, 14:00 - 16:30 hrs
Venue The Explorer Suite at The Lands by Capella, Sydney

As Asia-Pacific economies pursue cleaner and more interconnected energy systems, modernising and expanding power networks has become a central priority. From transmission upgrades and cross-border interconnections to low-carbon generation and natural gas infrastructure that supports system reliability, the scale of investment required is significant and calls for new approaches to financing. In many markets, natural gas continues to play a role in maintaining grid stability and supporting the integration of variable renewable energy.

This discussion will examine how capital can be mobilised to support the energy systems of the future. Experts will share perspectives on emerging investment models and the evolving role of institutional investors and multilateral partners. The panel will highlight opportunities to align capital with strategic energy projects, including grids, clean energy, and gas infrastructure, to strengthen investor confidence and accelerate the delivery of secure, affordable, and sustainable energy systems.
