If you asked most Australians what drives their power bills, they’d probably point to generation — the cost of producing electricity. But the truth lies much deeper. Like an iceberg, only a small portion of our energy costs are visible above the surface. Beneath the waterline sits the much larger, Read more…
“Often, system security is the most urgent and pressing challenge and needs investment in additional plant and infrastructure.” — Daniel Westerman, Clean Energy Summit 2025 If energy capacity is akin to the human cardiovascular system, system strength is the heartbeat of the grid. What Is System Strength, Technically? In grid Read more…
Australia is in the middle of the fastest, most decentralised energy transition in the world. Rooftop solar is now the largest generator in the National Electricity Market (NEM), virtual power plants (VPPs) are emerging, and millions of behind-the-meter assets are operating at the distribution level with limited visibility or control.
