Our energy network is going through a massive transformation as we look to decarbonise our grid through the rollout of renewables. And with the pace of innovation increasing, it’s becoming pretty clear that we’re in for a bit of a bumpy ride.
So whether you’re an industry veteran, or just keen to learn more – Watts Next? will bring you into conversations with some of the leading voices in the energy sector, as we try to figure out how to build the energy system of the future.
Watts Next? is a podcast by Energy Consumers Australia, the national voice for energy consumers.
It’s no secret that electric cars are starting to appear more frequently on our roads. The move to electric vehicles comes with a lot of challenges, both for our energy network, and the consumers that use them. So how can we accelerate the rollout of EVs, and will our policy makers be able to keep up?
In this episode, Energy Consumers Australia’s Ashley Bradshaw speaks with Ross De Rango, Head of Energy and Infrastructure at the Electric Vehicle Council. The Electric Vehicle Council is an industry group that consults with automakers, and key decision makers to provide advice on the transition to EVs. So how are we shaping up as a nation when it comes to the rollout, and where might we need to improve?
This episode also features an update from the Energy Consumers Australia's Grants Program, where Alexandra Bishop talks with Dr Gill Armstrong from Climateworks about what they've learnt about the quality of Australia's housing stock, and how to improve the energy efficiency of our homes.
