Description

‘Financing the Transition’ will explore how capital is being mobilised to support WA's rapid energy transformation. As coal exits the WEM and decarbonisation accelerates in the Pilbara, the session will examine the investment structures, risk allocation and policy settings needed to unlock investment at scale. Bringing together perspectives from institutional, export and project finance, superannuation investors and global infrastructure advisors, discussion will focus on merchant risk, contracting models, transmission build-out, and the integration of renewables, storage and firming capacity. The session will consider what is needed to unlock private investment, manage transition risk, and deliver a bankable pathway to a low-emissions energy system for WA’s main grid and its remote industrial heartland.
