Australia’s energy system is shifting fast, and few people have had a closer view of its moving parts than Brian Restall, CEO of Quinbrook. To learn directly from people steering the transition, this is the room to be in.

Energy Efficiency Council CEO Luke Menzel, who is also on the ground in Belém, Brazil for COP30, said that while it was disappointing COP31 won’t be hosted in Adelaide, Australia securing the right to lead the negotiations within this decade was a win on the substance.

Will COP30 in November have a much bigger impact on the Australian renewables industry than previous COPs. There is now a much more substantial industry in Australia and the COP30 presidency has called for a much bigger focus on implementation including tripling renewables, doubling energy efficiency and transitioning away from fossil fuels. Join this webinar and get ahead of what COP and other international meetings will mean for the industry.

Is Sydney not pulling its weight in the energy transition???

Data centre energy demand is predicted to grow to 3,100MW by 2030 and Sydney will likely host up to 92% of NSW’s data centres, with significant implications for all electricity users.
