Knowledge is power – control your energy bills, increase home comfort
The transition is underway, and every household will take different paths in their transition to a clean, efficient, affordable electric future. Get advice at our July meeting with Tim Forcey who will introduce his new book 'My Efficient Electric Home Handbook'.
We also have three other home efficiency assessors joining us with different approaches and levels of service such as energy use analysis, scorecard assessments, trade recommendations or management assistance. Join us to learn more about lowering your energy bills and increasing the comfort of your home.
Energy Policy: Facts and Fantasy
Australia’s energy transition is well under way and kicking goals with renewables producing almost 40% of Australia's electricity and rising. Australia has a detailed plan to transition its energy system. It's been developed by experts and it's called the Integrated Systems Plan (ISP). That’s the good news. So why all this talk of nuclear? How do we sort the facts from the spin?
Dr Dylan McConnell, renewable energy & energy systems analyst at UNSW Sydney, will give us the facts and identify the potential wrong turns on the road to a clean energy future. Dylan has extensive experience in analysing the electricity sector in Australia and is a regular contributor to the public conversation on energy policy.
