Our journey began in 1994 with our first Independent Power Producer (IPP) project in Cambodia — a milestone that laid the foundation for our growth into a regional leader. Today, we operate across seven markets in Asia with a diverse portfolio of renewable power generation and transmission assets.

Leader Energy develops, owns, and operates renewable energy solutions in solar, hydro, wind, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), alongside transmission lines that strengthen energy reliability and access.

Guided by our Aspiration — RE-Energising a tomorrow where renewable energy uplifts lives and economies — and our Purpose — to deliver sustainable energy that betters society and environment — Leader Energy has set a clear direction for the future. These principles underpin our position today as a 100% renewable energy business and our commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, reinforcing both sustainability leadership and long-term business resilience.

Beyond infrastructure, our mission is about uplifting communities, creating shared prosperity, and protecting the environment for generations to come. As Asia accelerates its energy transition, Leader Energy stands at the forefront —committed to powering a brighter tomorrow.

Our Commitment

In line with the United Nation’s global roadmap to achieve a radical transformation of energy access and transition by 2030 and contributing to net zero GHG emissions, we began the Group’s evolution towards a greener footprint in 2016.

Passionately committed to being a top renewable energy player that accentuates green leadership, we are constantly working to align and transition our platforms toward renewable energy.

Key focus areas will include clean energy growth engines in solar, hydro and wind; green networks that encapsulate energy transition enablers; and providing our clients with clean solutions and synergy in energy management.
