ERGANZ CEO Bridget Abernethy will speak at the third annual Women in Energy & Renewables Summit in Sydney this October.
The Summit brings together professionals leading Australia’s energy transition and will unpack the challenges facing the sector.
Abernethy’s address will provide a trans-Tasman perspective on how to navigate the energy transition, and she will explore how policy and market changes are reshaping the sector.
She will discuss how both Australia and New Zealand are addressing the same energy trilemma of reliability, affordability, and decarbonisation, including how durable policy, investable markets, and consumer participation are critical if both countries are to achieve their ambitions.
