The Foresighting Forum isn’t just another energy conference – it’s the only event that gives a voice to the people whose choices matter most: households and small businesses. The decisions they make day to day – how they use, save, generate, and pay for energy – will ultimately determine the success of Australia’s energy transition.
At our upcoming Foresighting Forum in March 2026, we’ll explore how to supercharge the shift to an energy system that’s affordable, clean, and reliable – one that truly reflects the values, needs, and expectations of all Australians.

Event theme: Flick the switch!
The theme for our 2026 Foresighting Forum is 'Flick the switch': we'll look at how we move from thinking to game-changing reform. Discussions will focus on the key priorities where action can happen now, focusing on a selection of Energy Consumers Australia's seven targets that must be met for consumers to thrive in the transition. And importantly, we'll be asking for your input into how to make them a reality.
The Foresighting Forum is a unique event. It brings together diverse voices from across the energy sector; those who interact with, plan, build, govern, advocate for, and use our energy system at every stage.
Join us as we aim to turn ambition into action, and action into impact. This is where the future of energy gets rewritten, with consumers at its centre. This is your chance to be challenged, inspired, and energised to think, act and dream like a consumer.
