Powering 2025: Driving Australia’s Energy Transition

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location: Malvern Town Hall, 1251 High Street, Malvern

Energy analyst and renewables expert Simon Holmes à Court has once again generously agreed to give Lighter Footprints his annual update on Australia's energy transition. Simon will explore the pace of Australia's progress in transitioning to renewable energy, the roadblocks we face in getting the job done and the policy options for the year ahead. Simon will be joined in conversation with Ric Brazzale, Managing Director at Green Energy Trading.

Australia faces serious challenges in decarbonising its economy but is also endowed with significant natural resources and has the potential to provide leadership on the world stage. What will be the impact of the US abandoning the Paris Agreement? Will we meet our targets and are our targets appropriate? Does the nuclear option make sense? Find out what these experts think at this free public meeting.

Simon Holmes à Court is a Director at the Superpower Institute. He is a man of many hats but to Lighter Footprints he is an energy analyst with many years of experience in the renewables sector with a talent for clearly sharing complex information.

Ric Brazzale has more than 35 years of experience in the energy and renewables sector, Ric will help us explore the policy settings that will support a healthy, profitable renewables industry.

Don’t miss what promises to be an engaging and informative evening! This meeting will arm us with the facts that we can take forward and share with others.

Join us at 7:00pm to peruse the information stalls in the hall. The meeting will start at 7:30pm.
