About This Podcast

Energy is at the center of decarbonising the economy, and we need all hands on deck to do it, so why not start here? Your co-hosts Bronte Wilson and Adam White will provide jargon-reduced insights into the Australian Energy Transition, a transition from a fossil-fuel-dependent and centralised energy system to a decentralised renewable-based one. You can expect short explainer episodes on some of the key challenges and opportunities, as well as longer Q&A episodes with industry experts.
