Overview
We strongly believe that putting communities at the centre of the clean energy transition not only improves peoples’ lives, but is vital to the acceleration of a just and inclusive transition.
Participation and ownership by local communities creates local socio-economic value and helps foster more positive attitudes towards renewables. This, in turn, increases citizen support for the energy transition.
Working closely with local partners or service providers who have good on-the-ground understanding of local conditions and communities has always been a vital strategy for Yinson Renewables. We are unwaveringly committed to continually engaging with our local stakeholders to ensure that the projects generate value in alignment to the area’s interests.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific offers both opportunities and challenges in clean energy development. New Zealand exemplifies this progress, generating over 80% of its electricity from renewables like wind, solar and geothermal. Across South and Southeast Asia, governments are adopting forward-looking policies to meet rising energy demand and climate goals. While varying wealth and hydrocarbon reserves affect the pace of transition, ASEAN collaboration and international support are fostering a favourable environment for renewable investment.
- 94.6 MW Mt Cass Wind Project acquired, expected to be operational in 2028
- Approval received from New Zealand's Overseas Investment Office in 2025
- Several large scale opportunities being taken forward
- Pahiatua Wind Project received planning consent in November 2025
- Commercial and Industrial (C&I) rooftop projects with ~12 MWp in operation and ~14 MWp secured or in construction to be operational end 2025.
- Industrial scale solar projects under investigation.
- 175 MWp Bhadla and 285 MWp Nokh projects operational.
- The C&I market is expected to improve in 2025.
- Domestic system installations continue and have shown steady growth.
Latin America
Latin America boasts one of the world’s cleanest electricity systems, with renewables supplying around 60% of power – projected to reach 80% by 2050 under current policies. While hydropower has long dominated, wind and solar are set to grow rapidly. The cost competitiveness of renewables over other new energy sources anchors renewables as the preferred power source of power generation.
- 97 MWp Matarani solar project operational.
- Phase 1 (53 MWp) of the ~130 MWp Majes solar project started construction and expected to be operational during 2026.
- Vicosa and Santa Clara wind projects, totalling 486 MW, awaiting grid availability.
- Several acquisition opportunities under investigation.
- Two hybrid (solar + battery storage) projects around ~212 MWp in late stages of development.
- 118 MWp solar project expected to be awarded grid connection in 2025.
Europe
The European Union targets 45% renewable energy by 2030, with a binding 42.5% goal for all member states. In line with Fit-for-55 and REPowerEU, Italy raised its targets and plans a EUR 23 billion grid upgrade via Terna to support renewables, boost grid security, and expand cross-border capacity. A liquid offtake market and supportive tariffs also enhance investment appeal.
- Nearly 400 MWp of wind and solar projects in development, all in consenting process.
- New projects under investigation.
- Plan to participate in acquisition processes involving projects from late-stage development to operational.
