Local government associations continue to be responsible for championing and driving Australia’s shift to renewable energy according to the organisers of All-Energy Australia.
With councils across the country signing up to climate change declarations including environmental policies with carbon neutral targets, many renewables projects are being signed off by local councils and this local level change will be critical to Australia’s transition to being 100 percent powered by renewable energy by 2030.
Recently, Sydney City Council has signed off a policy in which energy efficiency and renewable energy targets will be incorporated into commercial development applications.
This is a first for an Australian council and will mean development applications for new office buildings, hotels, shopping centres and other major building works will need to comply with minimum energy ratings from January 2023 and achieve net-zero energy use from 2026.
With this in mind, Australia’s largest clean energy event, All-Energy Australia is encouraging all local councils and associated personnel to sign-up for the free-to-attend event.
All-Energy Australia is the country’s largest and one of the most anticipated clean energy events in Australia, which opens up a world of opportunities for industry suppliers and experts as well as those involved in renewable energy and energy storage sectors to expand business networks.
Featuring more than 290 suppliers and attracting more than 10,500 industry professionals, All-Energy Australia is a must-attend event in the industry’s calendar. This free-to-attend exhibition and conference from 26-27 October 2022 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
All Energy Australia is organised in partnership with the Clean Energy Council and is where renewable energy professionals can get exclusive access to the latest technologies and trends and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
Local councils are responsible for a range of clean energy projects ranging from solar PV and storage installation, to solar panel recycling initiatives, long-term power purchase agreements and micro-grids.
All-Energy Australia will be covering all the major topics critical to local governments clean energy projects including Grid Scale Energy, Digitisation, Community and Local Energy, Hydrogen, Electric Vehicles, Decarbonisation, First Nations Energy, Long Duration Storage, Bioenergy, Future Grid, Offshore Wind Energy, Power Purchase Agreements, Energy Management and Distributed Energy Resources.
The full schedule is still being finalised, but the introduction of a specialised Energy Management Zone has been confirmed. This dedicated zone will host its own theatre with sessions running throughout both days on sustainable solutions that facilitate improved energy management and increased cost savings.
These sessions will also highlight innovative energy management technologies and services that support the reduction of energy bills and emissions. Session topics will be in agriculture, food and beverage manufacturing, metals and other materials manufacturing, residential buildings, commercial buildings and Government operations.
