Tim has 35 years financial markets experience, including providing public interest related financial analysis on the energy transition since 2013, studying China, India and Australia. Tim founded Climate Energy Finance Australasia in 2022, having co-founded and worked with the global energy finance thinktank IEEFA over 2013-2021. For 17 years Tim was a Managing Director at Citigroup, Head of Australasian Equity Research. Tim has published over 100 reports on the global energy transition.
One panel we’re especially excited about is Energy, “Shine Bright: how regions can power the world” bringing together speakers including Tesla, NewVolt and internationally recognised energy analyst Tim Buckley of Climate Energy Finance to unpack the green energy, electrification and decarbonisation opportunities on our doorstep.
Tim Buckley is internationally recognised for his work on energy markets, system transition, and the economics of renewables. His analysis cuts through complexity, connecting policy, infrastructure, and investment in a way that is highly relevant for regions like ours.
Tim will be speaking at the iiF Conference in October and will provide:
-A clear view of where Australia’s energy system is heading
-Insight into the commercial realities of the transition
-Practical implications for regional economies and industries
-An informed perspective to support better local decision-making
For the South West, this is about more than energy. It’s about ensuring the region remains competitive, resilient, and investment-ready. Check out Tim Buckley’s TEDx talk on Australia’s untapped economic potential in the global economic transition.
