The clean energy transition is unfolding at a rapid pace across regional Australia, with solar and wind farms, battery storage systems, and new electricity transmission projects reshaping the energy landscape.
First Nations people and communities are rights holders and critical partners in Australia's clean energy transition.
It’s essential that our people and communities are equipped to manage and explore emerging opportunities in First Nations-led clean energy development and partnerships, as well as understand the risks.
To ensure First Nations are empowered to engage, consent, negotiate and partner in new clean energy developments, First Nations people from the Geraldton region are invited to attend the 2-day Powering Up workshop, which will focus on opportunities and areas where significant clean energy development is proposed, providing vital information and pathways for First Nations.
Together, we’ll unpack the basics of renewable energy, explore what participation and benefit-sharing means for Country and community, and look at the economic opportunities and challenges that come with it.
Dive into the renewable energy landscape, learn how to advocate for strong agreements, and explore pathways to clean energy jobs, skills, and business opportunities in this workshop being delivered by the First Nations Clean Energy Network with the Clean Energy Council in Geraldton.
