About the episode

Our energy landscape is changing every day, from endless new chargers to batteries in trucks, those on the electric frontline are working hard to meet Net Zero by 2050. But are renewable sources still keeping up with demand, and as EV demand grows, will it in the future? In this episode, the team check in with Australia’s progress towards clean energy and explores why the race towards renewable won’t be in a straight line. Energy industry veteran Tony Wood, Director of the Energy Program at Grattan Institute, unpacks the current makeup of our grid, what needs to improve, what the future may look like (solar, wind, nuclear) and how we get there.We catch up with Tim Washington from Jet Charge, one of the change-makers influencing how our electric infrastructure develops. Plus Andrew Rogers from Charge HQ tells us how his company is bringing all of this together and giving you the (solar) power to play a part from your garage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
