Join the Australian Power Institute for the next Power Up Inside Industry webinar: The energy transition is often described in big-picture terms, but what does it actually mean for the engineers working across the power sector?
As Australia’s power system continues to change, the work of keeping electricity safe, reliable and affordable is becoming more complex and more important than ever. New renewable generation, battery storage, grid-forming technologies, rooftop solar, electric vehicles, changing customer behaviour and major network upgrades are all reshaping the way the power system is planned and operated.
For students interested in a future career in power and energy, this creates an exciting opportunity to be part of one of the most important transformations of our time.
This one-hour online session will help undergraduate students understand how engineers are supporting one of the most significant transformations in the power system’s history. From renewables, storage and grid stability to customer change, reliability, affordability and community expectations, this webinar will explore the real challenges and opportunities shaping the sector.
Students will hear from industry professionals about the work being done to keep the power system safe and reliable while enabling the technologies and infrastructure needed for the future.
Event details:
Date: Thursday 20 August
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm AEST (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne) 10:00am – 11:00am WST (Perth)
Location: Online
Who: This session is designed for Power Up community students, Power Up Scholarship holders and undergraduate students who want to better understand where a career in power and energy could take them. It is also a great follow-on opportunity for students who attended the Power Up Summit and want to go deeper into the real-world issues shaping the industry.
Whether you are just starting to explore power engineering, preparing for future placements, thinking about graduate pathways or simply curious about the energy transition, this webinar will give you a practical insight into the sector and the role future engineers can play.
Come along, bring your questions and invite your friends to join too. This is a great opportunity to hear directly from industry, learn more about the future of the power sector and see how your studies could connect to real challenges, real careers and real impact.
