Energy is a big issue for our mob, it changes and shapes our future, and we must be involved and able to access its benefits.
On the evening of Monday 21 September and all day Tuesday 22 September 2026, we are hosting a workshop in Port Lincoln focused on clean energy negotiations and self-determination.
This practical workshop is designed for First Nations groups navigating clean energy development on Country. We will build skills and confidence in negotiating outcomes for your community, provide an overview of equity participation, and explore the real risks and benefits for First Nations groups seeking to hold equity in clean energy projects.
The workshop will cover
- SA renewable energy landscape and current projects
- Community organising and advocacy
- Negotiating clean energy agreements (ILUA/shared benefits)
- What services, support is currently available, what is needed

Why this matters
South Australia is seeing a significant increase in renewable energy projects, and First Nations groups are being asked to engage in negotiations right now. We've heard from communities across the state that more support is needed to navigate these processes with confidence.
Who it's for
This workshop is for Traditional Owner entities (PBCs & ACCOs) who are seeking to gain knowledge in clean energy negotiations on Country.
Travel, accommodation and attendance support is available for those who need it. To ensure an intimate workshop experience where everyone gets the most out of the day, places are limited.
For any enquiries regarding this workshop, please reach out to Cat Beaton, [email protected]
We hope to see you there!
In Solidarity,
The First Nations Clean Energy Network Team
