This week on Energy Unplugged, we’re delighted to welcome the Honourable Matt Kean, Chair of Australia’s Climate Change Authority and Director at Wollemi. He joins Hugo Batten, Aurora’s Managing Director for APAC, and James Ha, Aurora’s Head of Research for APAC, for a deep conversation on how Australia is reshaping its energy system - through policy reform, market design, and strategic investment - to deliver a cleaner, more secure, and more affordable power sector

Matt draws on over a decade in senior government roles - including NSW Minister for Energy & Environment, NSW Treasurer, and Deputy Leader of the NSW Liberal Party - where he led major reforms in renewable energy, grid investment, and climate legislation. Now at Wollemi, he is helping scale climate-positive investments while continuing to shape Australia’s national climate strategy through the Climate Change Authority.

You will learn about:

  • Australia’s path to rapid decarbonisation, including REZs, long-duration storage, grid upgrades, and state–federal coordination.
  • Unlocking clean industry, from green manufacturing and critical minerals to electrifying mining operations.
  • Reforming legacy subsidies - such as diesel fuel tax credits - to accelerate clean technology uptake.
  • The information ecosystem shaping climate decisions, including RenewEconomy, BNEF, and independent journalism.
