Energy Insiders Podcast: Australia’s future grid? You decide

Oliver Woldring and Jose Zapata from ITP Renewables join the Energy Insiders podcast to discuss OpenCem, which allows people to model their own energy transition, the speed and ambition.

Plus: AEMC’s new market signals go down badly with the industry, the massive cross-subisidies to the Portland smelter, and Trevor St Baker builds a solar plant.
