Australia's energy, power and utilities sector is in a significant growth cycle. Renewables now account for around half of electricity generation in the National Electricity Market, with an 82% national target by 2030. Investment continues to accelerate, with billions flowing annually into renewable projects and battery storage, while rising demand from data centres, electrification and mining is driving grid expansion and deal activity.
Nash Advisory works with owners and investors across the energy, power, and utilities industry. We provide business valuations, mergers and acquisitions advice, and divestment strategy support to help you maximise value and execute transactions with confidence.
The power and utilities industry in Australia is being reshaped by electrification, decarbonisation, and rising demand for digital infrastructure. Capital is rotating toward scalable renewable platforms, storage assets, and grid companies with resilient revenue models.
At the same time, regulatory reform and cost pressures are forcing operators to rethink pricing, supply chain strategy, and capital allocation. In this environment, strategic positioning and disciplined execution are critical when buying, selling, or restructuring an energy business.
