The power industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation as renewable power is rapidly introduced into the system,and distributed generation and microgrids take on increasing significance as an energy solution. Power & Utilities Australia is designed to examine the challenges and opportunities created by this unprecedented disruption in the industry.

The 2019 Power & Utilities Australia Conference and Exhibition will be held at Melbourne Conference and Exhibition Centre on 14–15 August. Power & Utilities Australia, created with the co-location of several established power and utility events, focuses on strategies and solutions along the entire electric power supply chain – power generation, transmission and distribution, and digital transformation. This event features discussions on industry driven frameworks that allow for affordability, sustainability and reliability.

The Power & Utilities Australia Conference will have an audience of C-suite executives discussing, at the highest levels, strategies and frameworks to meet the challenges of providing reliable, affordable and sustainable power to Australia.

The exhibition floor will have three knowledge theatres – Generation, Transmission and Distribution, and Digital Transformation – offering high-quality content free of charge to qualified visitors.

The Generation Theatre, where presentations will focus on the challenges of balancing traditional energy with clean energy, will feature case studies on topics such as asset management, utility-scale solar and storage, emissions control and demand management.

The Transmission and Distribution Theatre will focus on new challenges and opportunities for network companies as they manage intermittent power on a grid built for a different era. Additionally, microgrids, community energy and edge-of-grid intelligence will be explored.
