Panel Session: The Future is Now: Flexible Power Systems in WA
FLEXIBLE POWER SYSTEMS IN WA
A CONVERSATION
Exploring the technologies, collaborations, and system thinking behind WA’s shift to flexible, low-emissions power
This session brings together leaders delivering and operating flexible, integrated power systems to explain how power systems are evolving to support a stable, low-emissions future—where gas, future fuels, storage and renewables work together. Rather than traditional project updates, speakers will share their views from their delivery experience - how integrated, hybrid solutions are being deployed across mining, regional, and interconnected systems. Hear how collaboration across infrastructure, OEM innovation, and system operations is enabling decarbonised energy at scale—including 24/7 mining, green iron, and Indigenous-led projects. While demand-side flexibility will be acknowledged, the focus is on the technical pathways and system thinking needed to scale renewable electrons and low-emissions molecules across Western Australia.
