Speaker agenda
Panel: DER to CER and a consumer-led transformation of the electricity system to 2030
How to deliver benefits for all consumers, drive lower emissions and support a reliable and secure energy system? As residential and C&I solar installation increase on the SWIS, and a number of wind farms are constructed, the balancing act between generation and storage will continue to be a challenge. Large utility storage facilities being built will not be enough to manage the intermittency of clean energy generation, and the variability of demand. Increases in residential storage and EV mobile storage, and the orchestration of other BTM energy equipment could play a key role in absorbing load or acting as a net generator, as well as providing valuable network support and essential services. Establishing the regulatory framework, ensuring technology delivers required outcomes and enabling consumers to be part of the journey and are no worse off will be the ultimate goal.
