WA Energy Transition Summit

As Western Australia continues its journey towards net-zero emissions, getting stakeholders on the same page about the skills and resources needed is crucial. At CEDA’s WA Energy Transition Summit, in collaboration with the Western Australian Government, experts representing the government, private sector, academia, and the wider community came together to set the stage for a state-level conversation. 

WA Premier, the Hon. Roger Cook, announced new state investments towards clean energy and job creation, including $708 million in upgrades to the South West Grid and a new $60 million 'Investment Attraction Fund' round, helping to create jobs in new energy industries.
