As we move towards net-zero we will need to move away from the traditional energy sources that have kept our lights on for generations. But how do you shut down Australia’s largest coal-fired power plant without causing problems for the rest of the energy grid?

Transitioning our electricity grid towards renewables is one of the most important and complex challenges of our time. But what does it take to shift an entire grid to renewables? In Season 2 of So Watt? we explore how the transition to renewable energy will actually work, from the people on the ground making it all happen.

The Big Shutdown

Change is happening across the network as we move towards net zero. We want to electrify everything, but do we even know how to run our grid on 100% renewables? And what will it take to get there?

100% Possible?

The sports industry is not immune to the challenges we face due to climate change. However there is a growing push to help sporting clubs reduce their carbon footprint and become more energy efficient. So what does it take to go green, on and off the field?

A Sporting Chance

Large-scale solar and wind are vital to the future of our energy network. However if we want to transition to a fully renewable grid, we need to find a way to store the excess energy we get from wind and solar, so we can keep the lights on at night. That means we need batteries, and a lot of them. But how could some of our oldest energy sources be key to unlocking the grid of the future?
