Renewable Energy in Australia: Where to From Here?

---

The renewable energy industry in Australia is currently experiencing considerable uncertainty. The sector has shifted from a remarkable year in 2018 to a slowdown, with the expectation that 2019 will see a significant reduction in the number of transactions and capacity closing in the National Electricity Market relative to 2018.

This event will address the key contemporary challenges facing the industry in Australia, in particular the challenges surrounding marginal loss factors, transmission network investment requirements, national policy uncertainty, future regulatory reforms.

Attendees will gain valuable insights from a diverse group of participants in the sector to explore the implications of these challenges on the industry moving forward.
