Energising South East Asia Conference and Exhibition 23-26 March 2011, Perth, Western Australia.
The conference program has been updated at www.energisingsea.com.au.
Energising SEA is an international conference dealing with Australian and SE Asian markets and will cover all aspects of sustainable energy including the built environment, infrastructure, transport, energy efficiency, energy generation and carbon markets across all sectors of industry and is one of the largest sustainable energy expos ever held in Australia.
Pictures of the events will be uploaded on the SEA Australia Facebook soon.
Also, speakers presentations will be uploaded over the next couple of weeks to the website
www.energisingsea.com.au, but as most sessions were panel sessions, the richest content is in the panel dialogue - which will be presented as youtube videos once these are edited and uploaded in the next few weeks. (Some late program changes will also be corrected on the website as this happens.)
Some good coverage of conference content found in various articles on Climate Spectator - including today's item -http://www.climatespectator.com.au/commentary/green-deals-dogs-are-barking
Greening SEA - new smart meter operating
Western Power recently installed two Smart Meters at the SEA offices in Northbridge as a step towards greening up our building.
Western Power is working to build a smarter grid ready for a new era in energy use and is building a network that can accommodate future technologies. These include Smart Meters with two way communications, which, in addition to being installed at SEA, have been rolled out in the eastern suburbs of Perth. These Smart Meters will be combined with in-home displays to provide consumers with real time information about electricity consumption. The Smart Meters also support exporting power to the grid from PV's and other renewables.
Ricky from Western Power reads the new smart meters at SEA HQ!
