ABOUT THE EVENT

The Renewable Energy Construction Summit (RECS 2026) is Australia’s leading national conference and exhibition focused on the policy, planning, design and construction of sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects. The event unites the full delivery ecosystem – from government and project owners to developers, financiers, engineers, EPCs, OEMs, and solution providers – to accelerate the transition from policy ambition to project execution.

Why Now?

Australia has entered the decade of delivery for its clean energy transition. To reach 82% renewables by 2030, billions must be invested to plan, finance, and construct the nation’s generation, transmission, and storage infrastructure.

Yet delivery at scale faces mounting challenges:

  • Policy complexity: CIS, REZ, RETA, and Rewiring the Nation frameworks evolving rapidly
  • Connection bottlenecks: Grid constraints delaying renewable project commissioning
  • Workforce shortages: Critical gaps across electrical, HV, marine, and engineering trades
  • Social licence: Community engagement and Traditional Owner partnerships central to progress
  • Capital constraints: Rising costs, risk, and long lead times impacting bankability

RECS 2026 provides a single platform where industry, investors, and government collaborate to overcome these challenges and unlock Australia’s clean energy future.
