About the speaker

Key takeaways

Plans to construct wind generation and battery storage will retire coal-fired generators, reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2030 in the southwest interconnected system.

The large battery being built at the former Kwinana Power Station, showcases the co-location of new and old technologies.

Overcoming challenges and transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for meeting emission reduction goals by 2050 and necessitates a step-by-step approach.
