In this episode of Energy in the Room, Katie sits down with economist Tim Nelson, chair of the independent Nelson Review of Australia’s National Electricity Market. Tim cuts through the jargon to unpack what’s actually inside the report and what it means for renewables, storage and firming investment across the NEM.

They explore how the review tackles “hidden” behind-the-meter resources, a more weather-dependent grid and the need for credible long-term investment signals beyond the Capacity Investment Scheme. Katie also presses into the people side of the transition – from economics and engineering skill shortages to why curiosity and collaboration matter for solving first-of-a-kind system challenges.​

If you work in energy and want a clear, grounded take on where policy, markets and talent need to move next, this one’s for you.
