To shape a better future, we must learn from our past and act in the present. In this series recorded across AFR industry summits, we sit down with influential business and government leaders to unpack what Australia would, could or should look like in 2030. Join us as we explore the road ahead for our economy, our climate, and our people in this new age of disruption: https://deloi.tt/3fncUIZ
In this latest episode of Beyond the Summit: Australia 2030, Sandra James, Thomas Schlaak and Struan Buchanan from our Australian and global Power, Utilities & Renewables team take stock of the status of the energy transition, highlighting examples of both what and who is transitioning well.
They also chat about the growing need for modernising an electricity grid that is becoming more and more decentralised, particularly in the face of growing demand from AI and data centres, and the framework for how utilities can advance their capability and capacity to operating grids more smartly, more efficiently, and more reliably.
