We place the network of solar-powered homes and businesses at the centre of an electricity network and explore how consumer tech and new business models contribute to a truly resilient and sustainable energy future.
For those at the sharp end of the industry, on 23rd November, prior to conference, is a training day to share the latest technology advances and standards - especially in the battery and storage space. It will include new developments, new products and is a great opportunity for installers to get up to date with what’s coming! The training is open to all, members and non-members. More information and to register for this free event click here.
Other highlights include the SEANZ Networking Events, Taspac Gala Dinner, and the SEANZ Fronius Industry Awards. Our industry only expo will be better than ever featuring new storage and battery technology and is your chance to view the latest from suppliers - all in the same place.
New Zealand’s high risk of natural disasters impacts the reliability of our electricity system, our economy and our wellbeing. The question of resilience in our infrastructure must be addressed. Generating Connections will feature overseas and local keynote speakers and industry progressives and luminaries. We will tackle the question of resilience head on looking at the place for solar-powered mini and microgrids, the role of storage and connected homes, and virtual power plants. We will take a deeper dive into some examples in use today and those on the horizon which can create a more resilient electricity system for all.
Guest speakers include:
- Dr Brent Layton: Chairman of the Electricity Authority
- Mike Swanston: The Consumer Advocate, Brisbane, Australia...the new model driving grid resilience
- Mark Paterson: General Manager Consumer Energy, Horizon Power, Perth, Australia.... improving grid resiliency with solar PV, storage and other innovative technologies without sacrificing grid stability
- The cross-industry panel: Regulator to the retailer to lines companies to new tech industry representatives – The silo approach will not deliver value for tomorrow's electricity system. SEANZ drives the inclusive conversation on collaboration: What does this look like? How does the consumer benefit?
