Australia 4.0 2025 Communiqué

Download Communiqué Download Communiqué

To realise a Net Zero Australia, the transformation of our electricity infrastructure, policy landscape, regulation, and modes of operating will be profound. Since 2023 we have facilitated a series of national discussions, roundtables, and debates through which the thousands of participants identified and explored many of the challenges and opportunities. They were unanimous in the view that ...

Digitalisation is a necessary foundation for the successful transformation of the national electricity grid.

We evolved from examining challenges and opportunities to seeking the insights that will guide the strategic reality of a customer centric, digitalised grid - the Consumers' Grid.

... next steps.

As calls for better collaboration reverberate throughout the community, our partners and participants tell us that what has been achieved so far in Australia 4.0 is significant, and perhaps the start of something larger and more formal. We will welcome engagement with an even broader audience to incorporate and expand the collaborative discovery process.

We offer guiding principles in the Communiqué. Our hope is that these will assist all stakeholders to align around core requirements and develop effective policies, strategies, and that will enable Australia to realise the Consumers' Grid and, in so doing, to meet our 2030 and 2050 renewable and regenerative goals.

The Pearcey Foundation is proud to bring you Australia 4.0, and we thank all our collaborators & supporters.
