The impact of the April 28th blackout in the Iberian Peninsula went well beyond its regional scope and immediate economic effects. From the outset, various interest groups began to speculate not so much about the causes of the incident (which remain not fully known), but about the broader lessons that in their view (and interest) should be drawn for the future. These extend beyond Spain and Portugal to the global stage: what kind of electricity system expansion is needed to advance decarbonization while ensuring long-term adequacy and short-term security?

The blackout underscores the urgent need for rigorous, deliberate, and consensus-driven system planning—methodologically, institutionally, and regulatorily. First, in line with ongoing debates on the distribution side, security and network planning must strike the right balance between operational and capital expenditures, between market and regulated frameworks. It also highlights the need to reconsider the European transmission system operator model—or alternatively, to establish independent planning offices—and to strengthen regulators' technical capacity to assess and monitor proposed investments. Without such reforms, Europe risks heightened security vulnerabilities and growing inefficiencies as it advances toward decarbonizing its power systems.

Andre will examine the intersection of the three transformative forces reshaping global markets: the shift away from the rules-based order to transactional relationships, the race for artificial intelligence supremacy, and the AI-energy nexus.Drawing on recent developments from President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs to China's rare earth export controls and the boom in generative AI, the presentation explores how energy security has become the priority but is being implemented differently on a region-by-region basis. His narrative shows that globally integrated supply chains now face the risk of systematic weaponisation that is highly intertwined, such as gas leverage, rare earth restrictions, semiconductor export controls, and tariffs. As global data centre electricity demand surges 165% by 2030, electricity infrastructure bottlenecks are rapidly emerging globally. WA possesses strategic advantages that will position it well to capture significant value in the new energy-intensive geopolitical world.

FLEXIBLE POWER SYSTEMS IN WA

A CONVERSATION

Exploring the technologies, collaborations, and system thinking behind WA’s shift to flexible, low-emissions power

This session brings together leaders delivering and operating flexible, integrated power systems to explain how power systems are evolving to support a stable, low-emissions future—where gas, future fuels, storage and renewables work together. Rather than traditional project updates, speakers will share their views from their delivery experience - how integrated, hybrid solutions are being deployed across mining, regional, and interconnected systems. Hear how collaboration across infrastructure, OEM innovation, and system operations is enabling decarbonised energy at scale—including 24/7 mining, green iron, and Indigenous-led projects. While demand-side flexibility will be acknowledged, the focus is on the technical pathways and system thinking needed to scale renewable electrons and low-emissions molecules across Western Australia.

Hear an energising presentation from Dr Saul Griffith, followed by a fireside conversation on how demand-side electrification is scaling at pace across household, commercial and industrial sectors.

Drawing on experience from Rewiring America and Rewiring Australia, Saul will spotlight how policy “carrots” like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) have unlocked momentum and accelerated the adoption of clean technologies in community and corporate transitions alike. In WA, efforts in DER and industrial electrification show what’s possible.

This session celebrates those wins and asks: how do we take them further, faster, together?

As global grids struggle to absorb excess renewables and data centres consume more fossil-fuelled electricity, Project Ohm offers a new approach. By deploying small, decentralised AI computing nodes powered by stranded renewable energy, and using AI to schedule workloads based on real-time energy availability. This session will explore how rethinking infrastructure at the intersection of AI and renewables can unlock global benefits, starting at the edge.

Australia’s electricity system is increasingly influenced by weather conditions, affecting not only generation and demand but also the real-time operations of the physical network. With the expansion of renewable energy sources, weather variability now plays a direct role in determining system reliability, market performance, and infrastructure integrity.

The Bureau of Meteorology is supporting this transition by providing high-resolution weather data and customised forecast products designed for the energy sector. Serving as a sovereign source of reliable weather intelligence, the Bureau’s contributions are essential to the evolution of Australia’s energy landscape. Through collaborative partnerships, decision-support solutions, and sophisticated observation networks, the Bureau supports the ongoing resilience, efficiency, and adaptability of the nation’s energy system in response to current and future climate challenges
