In Australia, we face a pivotal moment: renewable energy is more essential than ever, yet our manufacturing sector grapples with the impact of low-cost imports and a global supply chain that often undercuts local producers. Like many in the industry, we’re asking ourselves, What does it actually mean to be an Australian manufacturer in this landscape?
All-Energy Australia 2024 has once again set a high standard, both in scale and in the energy and innovation displayed by exhibitors, speakers, and attendees. This year’s conference, one of the largest All-Energy events to date, showcased the growing role of renewable energy in addressing Australia’s needs and strengthening our commitment to sustainability. Our team returned inspired, following two days filled with discussions, demonstrations, and partnerships that showcased the vibrant future of Australia’s renewables industry. So what are our key takeaways?
Australia’s agricultural sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the adoption of renewable energy and, increasingly, battery storage systems. Guest blogger Lauren Hamilton, Head of Marketing at Smart Commercial Solar, shares her insights on the role of BESS in agribusiness.
Central to our journey is our esteemed partnership with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia’s premier scientific research agency. This collaboration is more than just an alliance; it is a testament to the power of combining scientific research with industrial innovation to shape the future of energy in Australia and beyond.
Energy Renaissance is excited to collaborate with Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), as a case study for the role of local manufacturing in Australia’s clean energy transition. As a company at the forefront of clean tech manufacturing, especially in The Hunter region, our collaboration with ACF propels us further towards our goal of revolutionising the energy landscape with our uniquely Australian approach.
Today, Energy Renaissance was honoured to welcome the Hon. Chris Bowen, MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy to our state-of-the-art battery manufacturing facility.
