A little sad as it’s my last night here at the UNSW CBD campus. This term we covered Renewable Energy Law, and it was a fantastic opportunity to hear from industry leaders about the policies that different countries have adopted to take on Net Zero. In particular for Australia, what is clear is that the biggest challenge isn’t simply about deploying solar and wind generation (as the politicians like to have us believe) but rather it is about ensuring that Australia has appropriately sufficient and stable transmission, distribution, and energy storage to support the future. I hope that what I learn will be of use at my workplace where we will, hopefully, deploy $30Bn of renewables and storage in the coming years.
I have one term left of daytime classes at uni and will be covering urban sustainability and (international) law of the sea.
