Why Attend Australian Energy Week in 2025?
Australia’s premier energy event
Be part of the energy event that brings together leaders from the entire energy supply chain to tackle the challenges of the energy transition. With the most influential experts speaking, you can’t miss it.
Unmatched networking
Join the event dinner, the 'Women in Energy' breakfast, or the end-of-day drinks to connect with peers and industry leaders, and build valuable relationships with the 1000+ delegates.
Multiple content tracks
Hear from industry titans in the conference plenary, and then deep dive into the topics that matter most to you in streams focused on generation, batteries and storage, retail, the grid and policy.
Engage with suppliers
Uncover the right partners that can help your organisation keep pace with a rapidly changing operating environment at the event expo.
Key themes for this year include:
Stabilising energy supply and ensuring reliability
Building (and connecting!) enough renewable generation to replace aging coal generation... and meet 2030 targets.
Reforming the NEM and WEM
Optimising grid operations, modernising pricing and dispatch mechanisms, and incorporating new technologies will not happen without comprehensive market reform.
Balancing transition with cost-of-living concerns
High energy prices and cost-of-living pressures may delay the energy transition, requiring strategies to secure investment in renewable infrastructure and government intervention.
Leveraging innovation
Promising technologies like batteries, hydrogen, and grid digitalisation can accelerate decarbonisation, enhance grid stability, and reduce emissions.
