August
The Finkel Report and Australia's Energy Future, Melbourne 17 August
12.00pm - 2.00pm
RACV Club, Bourke Street,. Melbourne 3000
With Finkel Review panellist Chloe Munro and Danny Price (Founder & MD, Frontier Economics), Ivan Slavich (CEO, Energy Action) and moderator, David Blowers (Energy Fellow, Grattan Institute)
Australia has long found competitive advantage in the abundance of energy available to its industry and domestic population, however the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy has led to challenges as scale, distribution and network reliability have not met the changing requirements.
Following the recent Finkel Review, Australia is setting a course to better facilitate the change, develop and execute it more effectively. This includes the need to balance the competing needs to keep costs low and meet reducing carbon footprints while delivering certainty in supply and importantly for investors as they look to build new capacity in the market.
17th Energy in Western Australia Conference, Perth 23 - 24 August
The Energy in WA Conference is the State’s premier energy event, offering excellent speaker programs and value for money since 1996.
The 2017 theme is The new energy cycle: Opportunity, Innovation & Change. Speakers will assess the state of play on a range of energy matters, such as fuels, technology, market and legislative developments, supply and security, emissions, and consumer trends while looking to the future.

NEM Future Forum 2017
30 Oct - 1 Nov 2017 | Grace Hotel Sydney | Australia
Using innovation, technology and policy to future proof the NEM
External forces – like new technology, consumer preferences and decarbonisation of the grid – are driving significant changes in the NEM.
From the organisers of Australian Energy Week, the 4th annual NEM Future Forum, being held from 30 October - 1 November in Sydney, will dive deep into this issue and examine how the NEM will evolve.
Over 3 days, the Forum will bring together industry experts to examine the key trends and technologies driving change and the interplay between them. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to hear first-hand from utilities at the forefront of technological advancement and the policy makers shaping the regulatory landscape.
The NEM Future Forum will address the key challenges being faced by all stakeholders in the NEM:
- Analyse how ongoing policy uncertainty is harming the industry and determine the steps needed to create a more functional market and better climate for future investment
- Gain insights into the potential impact of distributed generation on traditional utilities
- Identify the benefits and challenges of integrating solar generation into the NEM
- Explore the latest developments in battery storage technologies and the opportunities and threats this could create for current market participants
- Understand how new technologies and smart meters will change retail and consumer relationships
- Discover how to encourage cost reflective consumer behaviour through better regulation and economic incentives to benefit all market participants
