Congress
Fast Fair & Vital
6-7 March 2024
Possible research and innovation day 8th March
Message from the Congress organisers: The Congress was successfully held in early March 2024 with over 230 people attending the ICC in Sydney and others watching online. With a limited venue capacity and short lead in time, this Congress had some new innovations: co-location with the Smart Energy Expo; a hybrid format streaming the sessions online; and Regional Hubs hosting groups at community locations to watch it together. Stay tuned via the C4CE updates to hear the highlights, when recordings and presentation slides are available, plus upcoming events, webinars and community energy news.
Join communities moving towards a renewable powered future.
The Community Energy Congress brings together leaders from communities, government, infrastructure providers and business to focus on how community participation can speed the urgent transition to renewable energy. In 2024 we are the official Community Partner of the Smart Energy Council’s Expo and the Congress was held alongside an exciting array of solar, storage, electric vehicle and smart energy exhibitors.

The 2024 Community Energy Congress is over. But get updates on the Congress outcomes and upcoming events!
Who is this for?
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.
Why come?
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 are also hoping to run a side event on the 8th March, so stay tuned for updates. This is the sector’s defining event, one you don’t want to miss!
