Foresighting Forum

Our annual forum brings together the whole energy sector to work collaboratively on key issues affecting the long term interests of consumers. As we progress towards the end of the calendar year, Energy Consumers Australia would like to formally update our valued stakeholders about the arrangements for our flagship event, the Foresighting Forum, for 2021 and 2022. Since our inception, our annual Foresighting Forum has brought together consumer advocates and representatives from governments, .. continue reading market bodies, and industry to explore how the energy sector can ensure that the interests of Australian households and small businesses are at the centre of decision making. At the same time, we are hopeful that we will be able to meet in person, in Sydney for Foresighting Forum (15-17 February) 2022. We want to use digital forums next year to build towards this event, using the next 18 months to dig into the experience of consumers weathering a crisis, and learn the lessons about how we design systems that can deliver cheap, clean and abundant energy. It was held literally weeks before COVID-19 turned the world upside down, forcing everyone to focus on immediate needs and solutions. The Foresighting opportunity we want to grasp is what 2020 tells us about what is not just possible now but also over the longer-term?
