In front of a packed audience, Gavin delivered a keynote address titled “Strategic Entry and Expansion: Unlocking Asia’s Solar and Storage Potential.” In his remarks, Gavin discussed the rapid evolution and immense opportunity in Asia’s energy landscape, driven by surging demand for renewable sources. He highlighted how collaboration and partnerships are key trends fueling the adoption of solar and storage solutions across the region’s diverse markets. Gavin also shared actionable insights for stakeholders looking to capitalize on the explosive growth in these sectors.

“Asia is experiencing staggering growth in renewables, with over 50% of the world’s solar and storage growth over the next decade expected to come from this region,” said Gavin. “Peak Energy, with the backing of Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm with $70 billion in assets under management, is ideally positioned to help countries and companies across Asia achieve their sustainability goals. It was a pleasure to engage with industry and government leaders at ACES on how we can work together to accelerate the energy transition.”
