As the southern hemisphere’s premier electricity transmission and energy distribution conference, I strongly encourage you to attend Energy 21C
2009 in Melbourne in September – a conference organised by industry, for industry.
At Energy 21C 2007, the challenge was laid down to all participants to work hard to shape Australia’s energy industry response to the climate change challenge. Energy 21C 2009 will be an ideal opportunity for participants to discuss and review practical steps taken over the past two years and to map a constructive way forward.
During this conference political and industry leaders will address the major change drivers, as well as examine the tools being used by industry to manage energy businesses in an ever-changing and challenging environment.
Energy 21C is unequalled in the opportunity for delegates to be exposed to a number of key speakers and to participate in workshops on major issues impacting on Australia’s energy networks sector. We look forward to seeing you there.
Andrew Blyth, Chief Executive, Energy Networks Association

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) is pleased to be involved with Energy 21C 2009. Our strengthened involvement with the conference this year follows Ai Group’s consolidation with the Australian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (AEEMA) in 2008.
Energy 21C 2009 will be an opportunity for delegates to drive the energy debate and consider innovative solutions to the constantly evolving energy needs of the 21st century.
With the Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme now being finalised, there will of course be a major focus at the conference on energy delivery solutions to the climate change challenge.
This year in Melbourne, the 10th Energy 21C conference promises to be the best ever, with presenters from around Australia and the world, together with a broad group of quality exhibitors.
Ai Group looks forward to Energy 21C once again delivering a high level of information and debate on the energy issues which are so important to us all.

Energy 21C has become the major event for all power industry participants from Australia and South East Asia. This is one event l do not want to miss, and l recommend it as a “must attend” for all people who are involved in the energy industry, particularly for those who need to keep up with the latest in the transmission and distribution technologies and applications in the power and energy markets. The opportunity to meet the people from the supplier to the buyer, from the engineer to the owner, and from the exhibitor to the presenter will make it worth your time and money to take the trip to Sydney to join Energy 21C.

As a consulting engineer with a major stake in the electricity supply industry, I find Energy 21C an invaluable aid to staying abreast of the latest developments and keeping informed of what is happening within the networks. It is also a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make a few new ones too.
