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.

EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR WITH MATT GOLDEN
An overview of the current pay-for-performance landscape and the future of efficiency programs
WEDNESDAY 20 FEBRUARY 2019, 10AM - 11AM AEDT
As we move into an energy future driven by intermittent distributed resources, traditional efficiency programs are giving way to a market-based approach that attracts private capital and delivers savings as a grid resource.
Matt Golden, CEO of Californian firm Open Energy Efficiency will provide an overview of the tools energy efficiency businesses need to succeed as aggregators in pay-for-performance, non-wires alternatives, and third party programs.
This pay-for-performance webinar is designed for not only utilities and regulators, but also those who currently implement efficiency programs, deliver demand response, provide energy efficiency, control devices, install or manufacture energy products.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn how to use data to have confidence in savings and put together winning solutions that both serve your customers and provide value to utilities.
- Develop a roadmap to investment-grade insurance products that are available today to insure energy savings yields.
- Find out how to access the project finance you need to develop projects and implement business models.
Dial-in details will be provided closer to the date. Sign up to the EEC mailing list to stay up-to-date.
If you have any questions, please contact Andrea Von, Manager, Events and Communications at andrea.von@eec.org.au or on 03 8327 8423.
About Open Energy Efficiency
Open Energy Efficiency (“OpenEE”) uses data to make energy efficiency work for the grid. Our Recurve platform gives utilities the tools they need to keep up with a changing grid, gives a source of truth to pay-for-performance programs and payments, and lets stakeholders tap into the time and locational grid benefits they deliver. After all, you can’t manage what you can’t measure.
Our mission is to accelerate the role of demand side resources in the transition to a carbon-free energy grid and clean energy economy. As the lead developers of the CalTRACK methods and the OpenEEmeter, we have helped standardize the way changes in energy consumption are measured and reported.
The OpenEE team brings together a holistic set of skills from policy to data science to ensure the success of every customer. We take our mission seriously, don’t waste time and know that a healthy dose of reality is required to succeed.
The idea for standard, transparent methods for calculating energy efficiency savings was born nearly 15 years ago when, working as a HVAC contractor, our CEO Matt Golden experienced first hand the limitations of conventional approaches to measurement. Since then, Matt and fellow founders built the platform from his home in Marin County, California into what it is today.
