Announcement Content:

A prediction. In five years, at the end of 2022, we’ll be able to look back on the year nearly passed and say: ‘You know what, 2017 was a pivotal time for Australia’s energy transformation. That was the year it became inescapably clear that the future of energy is in the cloud not the coal mine.’

A set of deep trends is emerging: Technology is overtaking policy. Renewables are leaving coal in the dirt. Data is the secret sauce for change. The power of energy industry incumbents is being challenged by innovative new players and disrupted by emerging technologies and business models. Energy consumers are building their voice. Transition is now increasingly a process rather than an aspiration.
