In this episode of The Energy Connection, Aurecon’s Paul Gleeson speaks with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation’s long-running CEO Ian Learmonth on how the energy transition is going, what the NEM review might mean for the green bank and where Australia can compete on the global stage in clean energy technology.
Australia's energy transition is at a tipping point. Clean energy records are being broken every month. Australia is being held up as an example of a fossil fuel nation successfully turning towards renewables. But household power bills are not going down. Workers in industrial Australia are losing their jobs and the National Party just let off the first missile triggering a fresh energy war.
In our first season, Aurecon's Paul Gleeson speaks to the people at the pointy end of the transition and asks, how are they responding to displaced workers, frustrated investors or consumers struggling with the cost of living? And why should Australia go faster than other nations to move away from fossil fuels?
Season one of The Energy Connection brings together the people selling the energy transition - be it to displaced workers, impatient investors, or consumers struggling with the cost of living.
