The Regional Energy Resilience roundtable brings together industry, local government and academic experts to explore how regional and rural Australia can be supported through resilient electrification, microgrids and community-focused energy planning.

Unlike traditional seminars, this is an interactive roundtable where participants discuss practical scenarios, including energy reliability during extreme weather, electrification barriers for remote communities, affordability, and the role of local energy systems in a just transition.

If you're a researcher, industry or government expert in this space, we would love for you to join us! 

If you would like to request an invite, please email laleh.tafakori@rmit.edu.au

This event is part of the Energy Futures events season presented by the RMIT Regenerative Futures Institute.
