Learning from Australia’s Energy Challenge: ​ Innovation in Grid Resilience and Reliability

Discover how Australia’s largest energy networks are spearheading the national shift to Net Zero by leveraging the distribution grid to drive decarbonization and cut customer costs. Explore strategies for optimizing benefits from increased customer solar and EV charging and learn how these distribution networks are navigating the complexities of regulatory and political uncertainty to drive long-term industry change.

This presentation, featuring Chief Executive Officers from Australia’s top energy networks, is aimed at professionals and utility leaders involved in energy strategy, policy development, customer-focused innovation and design implementation. Given the diversity of Australia’s distribution networks, the panel will have a broad appeal to U.S. and international audiences.
