Yanara: A New Dawn for Renewable Energy in the APAC Region

In a significant move aimed at accelerating regional growth, BrightNight's APAC division has officially rebranded and split, becoming the independent company known as Yanara. This strategic shift marks a new chapter for the renewable energy sector in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, aiming to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of energy provision across diverse communities.

On August 6, 2025, Yanara announced its official launch, reaffirming its commitment to providing innovative and sustainable energy solutions. The company will maintain a strong focus on the development of projects that will enable utilities to ensure safe, reliable, and affordable energy, driving energy security and sustainability across the APAC region.

Leadership and Vision

Martin Hermann, the founder of both BrightNight and Yanara, expressed his excitement about this transition, stating, "The launch of Yanara is a natural step in our evolution in the Asia-Pacific region. We have seen significant growth across the region, and now is the right time for a platform that can respond quickly, think locally, and deliver tailored solutions at scale." Underlining the importance of clean energy, Hermann added that Yanara is designed to meet the rising demand for reliable energy while positioning itself as a leader in the rapidly changing energy landscape.

A Commitment to Clean Energy

As Yanara steps into its role, it aims to bridge the gap between demand for consistent energy supply and the urgent need for renewable resources. With projects and teams established in India, Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, and the Netherlands, Yanara will continue as a producer of sustainable energy solutions, delivering both firm and dispatchable energy to utilities and communities alike.

"The transition to clean energy in the APAC region is accelerating, and we are ready to tackle this challenge with bold ambition," said Jerome Ortiz, the new CEO of Yanara. Citing the company's strong foundation and proven track record, Ortiz believes they are positioned to deliver solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in clean energy.

Yanara plans to create a positive impact through its multifaceted, AI-driven renewable energy solutions, focusing on building, owning, and operating clean energy projects that meet the increasing electricity demands in the communities they serve.
