Upper Hunter Economic Breakfast
Upper Hunter Economic Breakfast 20 Sept
Future of energy and the Hunter
The Hunter region has a long and proud energy history. The Australian energy industry however is in transition - moving towards a carbon-constrained future. It has been announced that Liddell and Bayswater power stations will close in 2022 and 2035, respectively.
This transition will bring challenges for regions like the Upper Hunter. To minimise the impact - and maximise the opportunities - of the energy transition, it is critical that business, government, educational institutions and local communities work in partnership.
The future of energy and the Hunter will be the theme for the next event in the Hunter Research Foundation (HRF) Centre's Upper Hunter Economic Breakfast Series, now in its 16th year. The HRF Centre will also present the latest economic insights for the local and macro economy.
