Dear Community Energy enthusiasts
The Community Energy Congress will bring together leaders from communities, government, infrastructure providers and business to focus on how community participation can speed the urgent transition to renewable energy. We are the official Community Partner of the Smart Energy Council’s Expo and will be running the Congress alongside an exciting array of solar, storage, electric vehicle and smart energy exhibitors.
Tickets are now on sale – click on the button above to access them. You’ll also need to register (free) for the Expo as well as buying tickets to the Congress. If you’re not ready to order tickets yet, subscribe to updates via the form here and we’ll let you know as speakers, session details and updates on the potential research and practitioner day are announced.
The Congress is for anyone working to unlock a community-driven renewable-powered future. In fact, we think it’s critical to bring together a wide range of people and organisations. You might be working in energy policy, at a council, or an NGO. Maybe you’re involved in energy retailing, distribution or finance. Better still, you might just be a big fan of wind or the local electrification buff! Regardless of your job title, if you want to learn how over 100 communities around Australia are reaping rewards from our energy transition, the Community Energy Congress is for you.
These events are a living, breathing experience where people collaborate, engage and share their experiences and tools.
We’ll have presentations with innovative thinkers, strategic and practical sessions, and round ups of the leading projects around the country, all focused on community energy’s critical role in the accelerating move to a renewables based grid. We also hoping to run some side events on the 8th March, so stay tuned for updates. This is the sector’s defining event, one you don’t want to miss!
Community energy sits between Big Energy and Electrify Everything. Changing our energy systems can’t happen without activity at the community scale. Community energy:
FAST, FAIR & VITAL!
