February 21, 2025

Our 2025 Foresighting Forum has concluded for another year! 

This year’s consumer-focused energy conference, held in February, explored how we can continue ⚡ Charging Forward ⚡ to create an energy system that is affordable, clean, and reliable; while reflecting the diverse needs, values, and expectations of all Australians. 

Together with people from right across the energy, community and consumer advocacy sectors, we discussed and debated how to achieve Energy Consumers Australia’s 7 targets that must be met for Australia’s energy system to truly work for everyone. 

Attendees came together from across the energy and consumer advocacy sectors, to build clear pathways forward, strengthen existing partnerships and form new collaborations, and – most importantly – hear directly from Australian households and small businesses. Download the event program (PDF, 2.12MB) to find out more about what was covered.
