Dynamic, flexible, responsive: Demand and the 21st century energy system

Our energy market is transforming, and in this rapidly changing landscape demand side resources like energy efficiency and demand response are becoming increasingly crucial. However truly unlocking the demand side opportunity will require new rules, new business models and a new commitment to delivering for consumers.

The Energy Efficiency Council is pleased to announce a lunchtime Forum featuring a keynote address from CEO of the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) Audrey Zibelman. Audrey will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss what Australia can learn from energy efficiency leadership in the US and around the world.

Key questions canvassed at the Forum will include:

• What are the implications of the advent of sophisticated forms of energy efficiency and demand response for traditional energy markets?
• What can we learn from overseas markets that are navigating a similar pathway towards smarter, more flexible energy use?
• What are the learnings from the demand response trials conducted by AEMO and ARENA in NSW, Victoria and South Australia?
• Will the various energy market reform processes currently underway unlock the potential of demand side resources?

This high profile luncheon will be followed by networking drinks with executives and dignitaries. Full details and registration available here.
