Alison Reeve, energy expert at the Grattan Institute, will unpack what this surge in demand means for our energy transition and whether it ends up competing with households for clean power or helping drive the investment needed to deliver it.
When: Thursday, 22nd of October, 6pm

Speaker: Alison Reeve - Energy and Climate Change Program Director, Grattan Institute
