Good news! Our project, Integrated Renewable Energy Prospectivity Mapping for Indigenous Energy Planning, has been awarded ICEDS Seed Funding.
Australia’s Indigenous estate covers more than half of the continent and contains significant renewable energy resources. This project will help bring together renewable resources, transmission, industry, and Indigenous interests to support Indigenous energy planning.
Thanks to ANU Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions for supporting this important project. I’m excited to be working with Brad Riley, Francis Markham, and many others across the Indigenous energy community!

Today I gave a lecture in the ANU Photovoltaic Technologies course on economy-wide decarbonisation enabled by low-cost PV.
It was a great experience to bring our latest research from #HILT CRC and #ACAP into the classroom. One of the things I enjoy most about working at ANU is the opportunity to connect research with teaching, and engage with the next generation of engineers.
Thanks #Heping for hosting.
It was a pleasure to speak at the ACAP workshop at UNSW about how ultra-low-cost solar (ULCS) could reshape the energy transition.
ULCS has the potential to drive energy change across the Australian economy.
On the upstream side, demand structures will shift, accelerating the phase-out of gas and oil.
On the downstream side, lower electricity costs will flow through to network development, consumer energy resources, and importantly, the competitiveness of green commodities.
