Why Asia’s Energy Future Depends on Delivery, Not Declarations

Selected as a 50 SDG Leader, Peak Energy outlines how speed, scale, and execution are a must for Asia’s renewable energy future.

Scaling Clean Power Where It Matters Most

‍

Asia accounts for half the world’s energy demand and more than half of its carbon emissions. As the window for meeting net-zero targets narrows and geopolitical uncertainty ripples through commodity markets, nowhere is the energy transition more urgent. But urgency alone does not build tomorrow’s energy infrastructure.

Peak Energy shares why delivery — not declarations — will drive the region’s energy path forward. 

‍

“We’re seeing exponential demand from both communities and corporates. These investments will lock in the energy system for decades. It’s either fossil or renewable. The time to decide is now.”
— Gavin Adda, CEO of Peak Energy

‍

In a region where the decarbonization challenge is both complex and far-reaching, Peak Energy underscores the importance of local execution, financial bankability, and technical credibility. Backed by Stonepeak, a leading infrastructure investment firm with over USD 73 billion of assets under management, the company brings together a leadership team with over 120 years of combined renewables experience in Asia; engineers, dealmakers and developers who have delivered some of the region’s largest solar and battery projects.

Delivery at Scale: Solar, Storage, and Sovereignty

‍

Peak’s core approach: combining speed, local execution, and system-wide solutions to unlock Asia’s energy transition. With close to 300 MW in operation or construction and more than 1 GW in active development across eight countries, the company focuses on what actually gets built.

‍

Utility-scale solar deploys in as little as 6 to 12 months, with rooftop solar for commercial & industrial customers being delivered in 3 to 4 months. Falling costs, standardized processed and streamlined regulations make fast execution possible — enabling corporate buyers of renewable energy to lock in cleaner energy for decades. Pairing these assets with battery storage turns intermittent generation into firm capacity, allowing for 24/7 clean power solutions tailored to their needs.

‍

“A solar farm only takes 6 to maybe 12 months to build, whereas other forms of generation can take years.”
— Geoffrey Jahnke, COO

‍

What Asia needs now is clarity of strategy, operational agility, and deep local expertise. Peak Energy fully fits this requirement: an Asia-first platform focused exclusively on clean energy, with speed and resilience to match the urgency of the task.

‍

Crucially in a context of geopolitical uncertainty, the shift away from imported fossil fuels enabled by solar reduces Asia’s exposure to external risks and volatility. Coupled with the growth of regional manufacturing in solar and battery supply chains, this is transforming a narrative of energy vulnerability and import dependence into one of autonomy and sovereignty.
