SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, April 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Yanara, a pioneering renewable energy leader across the Asia-Pacific region, has appointed David Delmas as Chief Executive Officer of its Australia business. The move signals a major step in Yanara’s commitment to the Australian market as the company transitions its extensive pipeline from development into large-scale construction and long-term operations.

Bringing close to two decades of leadership experience in the renewable sector, David will spearhead Yanara’s expansion strategy, overseeing portfolio growth and operations across Australia.

Yanara has an active development pipeline stretching across Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia and is focused on delivering high-quality energy infrastructure that meets the specific technical and economic demands of the Great Southern Land.

Jerome Ortiz, CEO of Yanara, said: “David joins us at a critical inflection point. His deep expertise in navigating complex energy markets and prior success in scaling regional platforms make him the right leader to operationalize our vision for the Australian market. As we move forward with flagship projects like the Mortlake Energy Hub, David’s ability to lead high-performing teams and manage sophisticated capital structures will be instrumental in our success.”

David previously served as Managing Director of TotalEnergies Renewables Australia, where he led an operational portfolio exceeding 250 MWp, along with over 2 GW of hybrid and storage projects under development. He has also served as General Manager – Asia-Pacific at Total Eren, where he established the company's regional footprint and delivered over 1 GW of capacity across Australia, India, and Southeast Asia.

David Delmas, CEO – Australia, Yanara, said: “I am delighted to join Yanara at a pivotal moment for its Australia business. As the country accelerates the shift toward firm, dispatchable renewable energy, Yanara is uniquely positioned to deliver the large-scale hybrid projects needed to support a more reliable, resilient power system, lending pace to the country’s net-zero ambition.”

David holds a master’s degree in finance and strategy from Sciences Po Paris and is based out of Sydney, New South Wales.
