Theme in focus

Future Energy across markets, policy, and strategy

This summit is built around one clear theme: the future of energy in Australia. Panel conversations will connect real industry views with practical student understanding.

Generation

Transition driven by the coal phase-out and the need to address supply challenges through alternative storage solutions, with the pricing implications of this transition remaining a central concern.

Transmission

The ageing electricity grid is raising serious questions around reliability, while distribution infrastructure must be upgraded to keep pace with the demands of a rapidly evolving energy system.

Demand

Population growth continues to place upward pressure on energy demand, but it's the explosive rise of data centre hyperscalers accelerating electricity consumption.

Finance

Underpinning all of these challenges is the critical question of who will ultimately foot the bill and how the costs of Australia's energy transition will be allocated across governments, industry, and consumers.
