AUSTRALIAN ENERGYWEEK 2016
Dear Energy Executive,
More than 400 attendees at Australian Energy Week in Melbourne in mid-June had the benefit of 88 expert presenters and panelists over 4 days, across 8 different tracks. They covered a wide range of issues that stand between the Australian community and achievement of the CoAG Energy Council’s recently-announced goal of integrating energy and climate change policies to deliver secure supply and the lowest possible prices.
Not surprisingly, much of the speakers’ focus - and the audience’s questions - was on the drivers for change and the need for a durable, bipartisan approach to settle investors’ nerves and to encourage lenders’ support for new developments.
One of the most interesting questions was posed by speaker Roberto Bocco, Head of Energy Industries at the World Economic Forum. “We are witnessing a continuous trend for decarbonisation,” he said, “but what if the future of energy is different from what we are expecting?” Diversity among leading nations pursuing the transformation of electricity supply, he pointed out, highlights that there is no single pathway to a more affordable, sustainable and secure energy system.
The capacity of the Australian Energy Week presenters to pursue the prospects of diversity and the differing pathways to our national energy future was, I think, the major strength of the conference - which will be held again in Melbourne in May next year.
Feedback from the attendees thronging the Albert Park venue for the event repeatedly pointed to the benefits of being exposed to a wide range of views in an environment notable for calm discussion - and, having organised and participated in a multitude of conferences over the past 35 years, I was struck by the high level of networking I saw around me.
If I had to pick two major issues that arose from the three days of conference discussion, I would go for the ongoing need to resolve the problem of capacity indigestion in the east coast generation market (and the strong sense that this could not be allowed to continue to drift) and the rising focus on building new high voltage interconnection between east coast States to cope with the continuing growth of wind power in particular.
Overall, to quote speaker Ian McLeod, Chairman of the energy committee of the Queensland Futures Institute, the conference yet again underscored that “change isn’t easy” and “the journey is not over and never will be.”
