Key takeaways

The Smart Energy industry is in its infancy in Australia; development continues predominantly in renewable energy production and connected devices.

Driven by international energy regulations the government has developed multiple incentives to bring about change; these incentives have driven investment and trials into smart energy.

Development into a national Smart Grid within Australia has ground to a halt; small scale investment is now lead by local councils and energy providers.

The greatest future opportunity in Smart Energy is within renewable energy sources coupled with energy storage; development in this technology could change the way energy is managed in Australia.
