Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Powering Change: What It Takes to Electrify Australian Industry
Q: What changes would be most impactful for helping businesses electrify, particularly in terms of grid and infrastructure?
Improved regulatory settings to enable broader deployment of EV charging infrastructure, including curbside charges, and stronger support for integrating distributed energy resources, such as community batteries and grid-scale storage, to underpin business electrification.
Powering Change: What It Takes to Electrify Australian Industry
Q: Are the policy or regulatory changes that UNSW would like to see to either make electrification faster or perhaps fairer?
UNSW advocates for a national, holistic approach to electrification that integrates technological, economic, and societal considerations, supports investment in new technologies and grid readiness, and emphasizes energy justice and social equity to ensure broad benefits from the transition.
Reflections & Predictions: The Season Ahead
Q: What are the practical examples driving momentum right now?
Rapid uptake of residential batteries, the AER sandbox and Community Power Network proposals, and vehicle-to-grid pilots, including international case studies from the UK and the US that show bundled energy and mobility solutions can become scalable.
Reflections & Predictions: The Season Ahead
Q: How does the middle help accelerate or de-risk the transition?
The middle helps by enabling cost-effective upgrades and faster deployment, reducing reliance on large distant transmission projects, and allowing local grid flexibility to accommodate rooftop solar, batteries, and new business models.
The Global Energy Transition - Part 1
Q: Is the world on track to meet Paris Agreement targets?
No; while there are pockets of progress, current policies under current trajectories are not enough to keep warming well below 2 degrees, and achieving even 1.5 degrees would require much stronger commitments and sustained policy action.
