Energy Developments Conference 2023 - South Australia | Informa | 27 August 2023 | Crowne Plaza Adelaide, an IHG Hotel, 27 Frome St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia

It is at the forefront of the renewable energy transition, with the state the only gigawatt-scale grid in the world that regularly produces enough wind and solar power to meet all its energy needs.

Leads the world in the penetration of wind and solar in a gigawatt scale grid. No other state or country comes close, and this is made all the more remarkable by its relatively thin connection to other grids and the high penetration of rooftop solar, at least in daylight hours.

This timely scheduled conference represents an opportunity to review what it is happening in the renewable energy industry and to showcase the State’s clean energy credentials, and also provides a practical demonstration of the immense possibilities of a clean energy future.

Some of the topics the conference agenda will cover include:

• Reviewing the energy market and the latest government policy
• Assessing the renewables energy opportunities
• Updating the clean energy projects: wind farms, hydrogen, large scale-solar, battery storage
• Reviewing the green hydrogen industry
• Transmission infrastructure – supporting the transition of the energy market to a lower carbon emissions future
• Investment opportunities
• Responding to the changing needs of consumers through the transition
• The importance of community engagement, social license & integrated planning
• How the new National Reconstruction Fund and Safeguard Mechanism impact the development of the clean energy supply chain in Australia
