Summary. In episode 12 we go back to discuss Australia because of important recent developments in terms of clean energy policy as well as an ongoing energy crisis. Policy-wise the newly elected government is proving to be serious about shifting the energy system to a green and sustainable one. Crisis-wise, the nation has seen its national electricity market temporarily suspended, power supply failures and electricity prices have been skyrocketing. We discuss with our guest Rebecca Tilbrook these issues and then focus on corporate action. Within all of this turmoil corporates are undertaking climate action but so far, it has mostly been by large corporates.  But what about small to medium size enterprises and also residential households. Do the recent developments make there shift to green and sustainable energy easier or harder? What about the climate capital stack? Where are the investment returns and what is going on with financing? Note: all opinions are personal and do not reflect those of present or past employers. About Rebecca.
