How sustainable is sustainable energy? - Rex Glencross-Grant
Wednesday 26th October, 2016.
This presentation will discuss energy at large and then concentrate on electrical energy from traditional sources through to new and emerging areas. Rex will discuss how the sector is changing dramatically to address economic and environmental imperatives and community expectations, including security. More topically, some discussion will cover the recent state-wide outage in South Australia and what signals that is sending to the regulators and the community.
