Past Events
August 2017
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.

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
All EEC Members are eligible for a 10% discount - simply use code ASSN when registering.

AFR National Energy Summit
9 – 10 October | Sofitel Wentworth Sydney
The Australian Financial Review is pleased to announce the program for the National Energy Summit – to be held on 9-10 October at the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney.
While becoming one of the world’s biggest energy exporters, a decade of political division over climate change policy has undermined Australia’s traditional competitive advantage in cheap power generated from fossil fuels.
A national carbon pricing scheme was dismantled before it could become fully operational. Yet renewed increases in electricity and gas costs threaten energy-intensive processing industries.
The national electricity market has struggled to cope with the mandated expansion of Australia’s potentially rich supply of solar, wind and other renewable energy sources, threatening the stability of the grid and blackouts such as South Australia’s state-wide system failure in September 2016. Technological disruption could destabilise the grid further or help it to accommodate more dispersed power sources.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull recently declared a national energy crisis, prompted by looming shortages of gas amid the expansion of LNG exports from Queensland and state government environmental restrictions on gas development, particularly in NSW and Victoria.
In response, the National Energy Summit will be held, serving as a national platform for policy debate surrounding this crisis, as well as industry networking.
More than 300 industry stakeholders are expected to be in attendance.
