Future Energy

Australia is undergoing an energy revolution. The transition to renewable power and our commitment to slash greenhouse gas emissions is underway but under pressure. Our demand for electricity keeps growing but the move to a broader range of energy sources to power homes, transport, and businesses is facing strong economic headwinds. Future Energy will examine how we keep the lights on and costs down as we make this crucial transition. Proudly supported by Alinta Energy, BYD, CiP, Jemena, Leta, Government of South Australia and Transgrid.
