In this Energypreneurs episode, Gavin Dufty, National Director of Energy Policy and Research at St Vincent de Paul Australia, spoke about how consumer voices can shape the energy transition.

Gavin highlighted the need to move beyond shiny new tech and focus on frameworks that integrate all household appliances — from solar batteries to hot water systems — into the grid in ways that benefit both consumers and the system.

Gavin made it clear that the energy transition must be equitable, with consumers engaged not just as customers, but as active participants and investors.
