Micro grids to community funded renewables projects and everything in between - what you need to know to stay informed

Abstract

Speakers Ren Niemann, Graham Cox and Stewart Ebbott will explore the ever-increasing appetite for renewable energy projects across Australia and how Local Government can not only participate but prosper by utilising their existing assets and resources.

In a fiscally constrained environment with increasing energy prices, councils need to understand the risks and opportunities involved and how they can deliver greater revenue.

Ren, Graham and Stewart will take you on a journey beyond poles and wires and explore: • the importance of effective due diligence in managing risks on future projects • identification and selection process of potential renewables projects • engaging and partnering with the private sector • how councils can future-proof their opportunities • leveraging undervalued assets base for renewable energy projects
