PowerMakers is an intensive clean energy capacity building program for First Nations people from across Australia.

Learn more about PowerMakers here 

Since launching in 2023, almost 100 First Nations leaders have completed PowerMakers, joining a growing network of First Nations people working hard to improve outcomes for our communities in Australia's clean energy transition.

Our PowerMakers 2026 program is being held in Mulubinba (Newcastle, NSW) from 27 - 29 October.

Want to know more about renewable energy? Ways to bring down power bills? How to lead a community energy project? Key negotiation tactics with companies proposing to build projects on your Country? Build partnerships and wealth? Pursue equity and ownership of a project?

PowerMakers is for you.

During PowerMakers, participants will:

• Deepen their knowledge of clean energy and project development
• Grow as a leader and change-maker
• Build powerful partnerships to maximise community benefits
• Learn how to navigate ownership, negotiations, and financing
• Gain the tools to advocate for community and shape a renewable future.
