FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A new Clean Energy Deal Hub has enabled seven agreements in seven countries in its first year, including Nauru’s move off diesel.
ANTALYA, Türkiye, 12 November 2026: An online platform for supporting clean energy deals across the Asia-Pacific was launched at COP31 on Thursday by the Renewable Energy Council Asia-Pacific (RECAP).
The Clean Energy Deal Hub, released in beta at clean-energy-deal-hub.vercel.app, records deals signed and in progress, lists suppliers, builders and financiers, and gives governments, developers and investors a single point of contact with RECAP’s Deal Hub. The Deal Hub has run facilitation sessions in Dhaka, Sydney, Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City and Nadi since April.
Agreements supported through the Deal Hub in the past year cover seven countries and about 700 MW of solar, with an indicative combined project value of around $650 million. They include a 20-year solar and battery agreement to replace Nauru’s diesel generation at no upfront cost to the country, an 887 kW solar system at Pacific Fishing Company’s Levuka cannery in Fiji that will cut diesel use by about 310,000 litres a year, and a partnership signed last week in Bangladesh covering 500 MW of utility-scale solar and 150 MW of commercial rooftop solar.
“Governments across the region know what they want to build. What stops them is finding a partner they can trust, a supplier who will deliver, and finance that fits,” said RECAP Chief Executive John Grimes. “The Hub puts the deals, the people and the pipeline in one place, so the next agreement takes months rather than years.”
John Cotton, Direction of South East Asia Energy Transition Partnerships said “Breaking into new clean energy markets across the region usually means spending months just trying to verify local partners and navigate scattered information. A trusted, relationship-led platform like the Green Deal Hub is welcome step forward for anyone trying to build on the ground— it takes the guesswork out of deal-making and helps good projects reach financial close.”
The launch took place at the Pakistan Pavilion (B300) at 12.00pm, with a demonstration of the platform followed by a panel on clean energy investment in Pakistan and the wider region. Panelists were Shezra Mansab, State Minister, Ministry of Climate Change, Pakistan; Nicolette Boele MP, Australia; Grace Tam, Executive Director, Consumer Energy Resources, Clean Energy Finance Corporation; John Cotton, Director, Energy Transition Partnership, UNOPS; and Yuan Fang, Managing Partner, Global Partnerships, RECAP.
