Introducing Greg Elkins, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Global Power Energy.

Global Power Energy is an advisory firm led by experts with extensive technical, regulatory and commercial experience across AEMO, generators, networks, and OEMs. Their team brings whole-of-system thinking to every engagement, offering system-wide insight and practical solutions - a one-stop shop for renewable energy project requirements.

With offices around Australia, Global Power Energy is home to over 500 years operational and regulatory experience in its leadership and specialist teams alone - a purpose-built consultancy that truly knows the power system from end-to-end. Their strength lies in translating technical knowledge into strategic thinking and commercial model design.

Greg started his career in Townsville, Queensland. Then he joined AEMO as Manager of Network development at the time, which eventually turned into National Connections. After some time, he started Global Power Energy during COVID. After winning his first big client, the company just grew from there, into what it is today.

In this podcast, Greg will discuss his journey from Townsville to leading Global Power Energy, his approach, questioning assumptions, balancing economics with engineering, driving collaboration and demonstrating where his point of difference lies, which is exactly what Queensland's energy future needs.

The Queensland Energy Club welcomes Greg Elkins as our guest speaker for Episode 15 of ‘Energy Talks’.
