National Energy Summit 2019 | Informa | 8 October 2019 | Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, 61-101 Phillip St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

Bringing together over 300 key industry stakeholders – political leaders, regulators, energy producers, disrupters, and users – this comprehensive, two-day event is a critical platform for the nation’s highest-level discussions of Australia’s energy challenges and opportunities.

Join us as we work to determine a stable policy framework for providing more investment certainty, reducing carbon emissions, securing reliable power supply, and lowering prices.

Key topics to include:
• Beyond policy uncertainty – Shaping a competitive and affordable energy market in Australia
• Redefining the role of government and industry in the quest for a low carbon future
• Understanding and engaging customers and communities
• What role should the regulators play in a new energy market?
• Ensuring sufficient gas supply to the domestic market without market distortions
• Future energy mix – the outlook for renewable energy in Australia and what does a renewable future mean for system reliability?
• The role of hydrogen in a carbon-constrained global economy and the opportunities for Australia
• What role does the grid play in the development of new generation resources – and how will it do this?
• Thinking about solutions – Innovative end-users initiatives
• Capital investment and new financing models — What are the major concerns for investors looking to fund Australian generation assets?
