Australia’s 20th century electricity system has operated well as highly-centralised and one-directional grid that has supplied consumers who were largely passive  However, the combined forces of decarbonisation, decentralisation, democratisation and digitisation are leading to a very different grid of the 21st century.  While there is much talk about customers ‘being at the centre’, this presentation will explore the question of ‘what is a human-centred electricity system’.

This webinar is the fifth in a series of eight webinars on consumer-centric energy, being held between October 2020 and February 2021, co-hosted by the Energy Transition Hub and the Climate and Energy College, sponsored by the Victorian Clean Technology Fund.
