👏 Thanks Climateworks Centre for inviting YEF to a highly engaging Net Zero Leaders panel at Monash University this week, alongside fabulous panellists Alison Read Telstra and Samuel Dawes Carbon Market Institute (CMI). YEF's COO Timothy Shue shared insights on #neighbourhood #batteries and their role in the energy transition. The good news is cleantech costs are coming down while becoming even more efficient! Great to be part of a diverse and engaged cohort of future climate leaders :)

🌏 Building on the overseas interest in #neighbourhood #batteries, we were delighted to host another international delegation of senior leaders and consultants from Vietnam Electricity, The World Bank, and Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) this week. Despite our separate geographies, there were very similar challenges for Vietnam's #energy #transition, like the need for robust transmission infrastructure, energy security, and batteries as both countries progress towards greener and cleaner energy grids. A fascinating discussion, thank you for visiting!

We were delighted to host a Vietnamese delegation of senior leaders to our Fitzroy North community battery recently. It's wonderful to see the international interest in our work and Australia's energy transition — which reminds us the #clean #energy transition is a very much a global challenge!
