Founder & History

Origins and Founding Philosophy

Nearly two decades of sector experience before the group was even formed.

Founded by Simon Tan

Allied Energy Holding Pte Ltd was registered in Singapore in May 2007 by Simon Tan, who had been working in the battery storage industry since 1986 and the solar industry since 1990 — nearly two decades of sector experience before the group was formed.

The company started with a paid-up capital of US$3 million and set out to cover multiple business models within the renewable energy sector across different regions, principally through joint ventures. Over time it has also invested outside solar and energy into adjacent industrial and technology businesses.

Philosophy

How the Group is Built

Allied Energy operates as an active investor and founding shareholder rather than a passive holding company. It enters markets predominantly through joint ventures with local partners, then supplies the capital, trade financing and supply-chain access that allow each business to scale.

Joint-venture led

Local partners in every market, with Allied as founding or anchor shareholder.

Vertically integrated

Cells and modules through to distribution, EPC and owned generation.

Cross-border capital

Financing, supply support and structured investment across 15 countries.

The Group Today

Fifteen companies, six verticals, fifteen countries

The group deliberately spans the full renewable value chain, and has also extended into selected non-solar and energy-adjacent industries.
