Inside All Energy 2025: The $150B Pipeline vs. The 10-Minute Response Test
All Energy Australia 2025 insights: 100K batteries in 4 months, $150B solar pipeline, AI conversion boost of 35%, and why response speed beats panel pricing.

THE SOLAR AI
G’day energy pros ⚡
Last week at All Energy Australia 2025 — the show floor buzzing,17,000+ clean energy professionals descended on Melbourne. 460+ exhibitors. 500+ speakers. And a running conversation about more than $150 billion in project pipeline. Yet, amid all the floor-traffic and loud launches, I ran an experiment that pulled back the curtain on the weak link in our industry. — and the results hammered home one truth our industry rarely admits.
(Spoiler: It isn’t the tech. It’s the response.)

Feature Story
📊 WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT ALL ENERGY 2025
Our team submitted 23 qualified inquiries to a energy and solar companies at the show (decision-maker, budget approved, ready to go).
Result? Only 3 companies responded within 30 minutes (and yes — they were AI-powered).
8 more replied Monday morning.
12 companies still haven’t responded (it’s Thursday).
Those 3 who nailed it? Already booked site assessments. The others? Still polishing email intros.
According to PV Magazine, Australia's utility-scale solar is "set for acceleration." Here's why:
✅ 100,000 home batteries installed in just 4 months (took a decade for the first 100k)
✅ 150+ GW pipeline of large-scale solar projects in early development
✅ 82% renewable target by 2030 (we hit 76.4% in September)
✅ 30% exhibition space expansion from last year
The market is ON FIRE. Coal closures accelerating. Government backing strong. Battery subsidies working.
The Uncomfortable Truth:
While exhibition space grew 30%, I watched supplier after supplier lose qualified leads to those who had bigger teams , bigger means , and faster response times.
At the networking drinks (Billie's Bites & Bar, Oct 28th), a Brisbane based energy company told me his secret: 28 appointments booked from dead leads.
His advantage wasn't better panels. It was his trained AI ‘James’ managing Calls +SMS and Emails in one fell sweep even at 8:47 PM on Friday night.

🔥 THE ALL-ENERGY INNOVATIONS YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO KNOW
What was hot on the expo floor:
🔋 Stackable battery systems - Everyone's doing it now
🌞 N-type solar cells - LONGi, JA Solar, Trina all showcasing efficiency gains
⚡ Grid-scale BESS - The big money play as coal exits
🚗 EV charging integration - Finally getting serious attention
The pattern emerging globally:
At Enlit Asia 2025 in Bangkok last month, Microsoft and utilities across Japan and Australia showcased something different: AI building smarter grids AND smarter customer engagement.
Japan's JERA (largest power generator): AI-powered plant efficiency
Victoria's United Energy: ML identifying grid issues via smart meters
The winners: Building 18-month competitive moats with AI
The Essentials
WHILE WE WERE AT ALL ENERGY
THE CHINA PRICE COLLAPSE While we were all at All Energy, China's top 6 solar manufacturers reported $2.8 billion in combined losses for H1 2025. Why? Production capacity is 2X global demand. | THE CLEAN ENERGY PIPELINE Australia’s clean energy pipeline just jumped. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) says new generation + storage capacity rose to 56.6 GW, a 24% jump year-on-year. |
The Innovation around US
🌍 WHAT WE SAW AT RMIT CIRCULAR CITIES SHOWCASE
Whether you're capturing sunlight or sequestering carbon, the pattern is identical: world-class solutions need world-class customer engagement to reach the customers who need them most
Here’s a few among many many innovators at RMIT Circular Cities Showcase.
Chloe Harper's Off With The Pixies Studio — Creating oyster-shell biomaterials that filter water, sequester carbon, and restore marine ecosystems while they grow.
Brice Lamarque's Wholly Shrink — Plastic compactors shrinking soft plastic volume by 70%, turning household recycling from nightmare to simple habit.
Evitat (Sonja Markovic) — AI-powered platform transforming how sustainable buildings are designed and delivered, making green construction decisions data-driven.
Shimroth John Thomas's ZeroTag — Interactive NFC labeling empowering consumers and SMEs to track product lifecycles, closing circular loops with a tap.
And many many more
