Australia generates roughly a billion dollars a year of electricity from the sun and the wind that currently goes to waste. What if we stored it at scale — and did it in ways that create real value for communities? Join us to explore the untapped potential of energy storage, the world-leading work already happening in the Hunter, and what still needs solving. From novel air-and-water systems being piloted by Energy Diversions (now past 30,000 lab cycles and designed to breathe new life into end-of-life mining assets) to other regional projects, this session looks at how storage can deliver both technical progress and community benefit. A practical conversation about technology, social licence, and building a sustainable energy future right here.
