The Year Ahead
One of the strongest trends for 2026 may be the ongoing expansion of C & I and distributed energy solutions. Manufacturers, miners and data centre operators are turning to behind-the-meter solarhybrid systems, wheeling arrangements and energy-as-a-service models to secure reliable supply and avoid lengthy permitting processes. These solutions appeal to international corporates prioritising resilience and decarbonisation and can typically be delivered within 6 – 12 months. They also reduce exposure to State off-takers, which remains a key advantage.
In this context, 2026 will reward disciplined execution, realistic timelines and solutions that adapt to local market constraints. bracewell. com
