First up, it's been two laps around the sun since our deep dive into the 2024 Integrated System Plan and so into the 2026 ISP we must dive! What's different from the last one? Well, in news that some of us energy wotchers will find comforting, this is a bit more boring than the last ISP because the central scenario is broadly pretty consistent with the last one! Data centre load hype replaces hydrogen load hype, batteries continue to eat into the role for gas but a bit more gas capacity is needed - how to finance this remains a key question! We also ponder the extent to which constraints on the ISP to reflect current government policies well into the future and reflect vastly different pictures across states is at all realistic.  Our main course This Menzel-free main course is serving Big G GOVERNANCE as we tuck into Power Dynamics: Energy Governance in Australia, authored by long time climate and energy policy knower Rob Murray-Leach for the Energy Efficiency Council and RACE for 2030 CRC. It follows previous work from the EEC, ACOSS, Australian Industry Group and Property Council of Australia and contains a cornucopia of common sense ideas. Central to the reform philosophy proposed is a better balance of centralised and decentralised elements, and coordinating institutions and resources to focus on the tasks they're best suited to. Simples, right?   One more things Alison's One More Thing is: the NSW Government's current parliamentary inquiry into an EV road user charge and the potential for more constitutional challenges! Governments really need to decide who's doing what here (lookin at you Commonwealth). Tennant's One More Thing is: Blithering ballpark numbers for space-based sunshades (solar powersat and sailcraft versions!) to mask global warming, buying time for emissions reductions without spraying sulphur or diamond dust in the stratosphere.TL;DR is there are easier ways to solve climate change change guys. Frankie's One More Thing is: a HUMUNGOUS shoutout to all the folks who have been working on and advocating for a national home energy rating system for the last two decades - it is finally here! Go check it out at https://www.homeenergyrating.gov.au/. Now let's giddyup on mandatory disclosure please! Luke's One More Thing is: Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address. Compulsory viewing for climate and energy wonks concerned with understanding the seismic shifts in Australian politics and how this impacts efforts to combat climate change. And that's it for now, Summerupperers.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, hosts Jos Röling and Alex Bausch welcome long-time contributor of the Energy Working Group: Edgar Kampers, co-founder of Hypha Energy. This episode is a lively conversation about the future of renewable energy communities in Europe.Together they have an honest and energetic exploration of why building these communities is so challenging today and why the timing for a new approach has never been better. Edgar explains how Hypha's tokenized, DAO-inspired system can cut administrative burdens by more than 90%, simplify ownership and decision-making, and help residents meaningfully participate in their local energy future, without needing deep technical knowledge or endless community meetings.Jos and Alex push the conversation into the practical realities: how do you actually motivate people to engage with energy data they don't care about? Can tokens really change consumer behavior? How do decentralized communities coexist with the massive DSOs that still control Europe's energy infrastructure? Edgar shares his vision for community-driven ownership, blended financing models, and the social value of producing and consuming energy locally.The episode also looks ahead at Hypha Energy's first pilots in Portugal, upcoming deployments in Norway, the Netherlands, and Poland, and the crucial role of partners already embedded in local ecosystems: municipalities, housing associations, consultants, and organizations like 2Tokens.If you're curious about the intersection of tokenization, decentralization, and the future of local energy, this episode is absolutely worth a listen.Participants:Alex Bausch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbausch/Jos Röling: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josroling/Edgar Kampers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edgarkampers/Learn more about Hypha Energy: www.hypha.energySend us a textDo you want to join one of the use cases?

On this episode of First Fuel Luke is joined by the Energy Efficiency Council's founding CEO and long-time Head of Policy, Rob Murray-Leach.Now an independent consultant, Rob was commissioned by the EEC and RACE for 2030 to produce a green paper on energy governance reform in the National Electricity Market. In a conversation coinciding with the ⁠green paper⁠'s launch for consultation, Luke and Rob discuss how Australia ended up with our current energy governance system, why it needs a revamp to meet the challenges of the energy transition, and some of the broad directions for reform set out in the green paper. A white paper with firm recommendations will be released later this year.

Can politics reshape our climate future? The climate crisis is driven not just by emissions but by power, political power. In this episode of A Climate Change, we sit down with political scientist and Vice Chair at the Political Science Department at UC Santa Barbara, Paasha Mahdavi, to unpack how government decisions and national oil companies shape the global energy landscape. From methane mitigation to clean tech policy, Mahdavi reveals why systemic change starts with governance. Learn how political engagement, not just personal choices, can drive transformative climate action.

In this episode of the podcast Callum Mason discusses two major scoops focusing firstly on the huge swathe of schools that are repeatedly being rejected for funding to improve dilapidated buildings and secondly around data that shows no schools used the energy switch service in the first three months of the year. Then Grainne Hallahan discusses pieces on governance on Tes this week and why schools need to think hard about the make-up of their governing body to ensure they have the right expertise on hand when required.

Angella MacEwen, John Foster, and Francisco Wulff are all economists; Alex Belyakov is a Ukrainian journalist who covered the Chernobyl disaster. There was a debate about whether Canada's fossil fuels may help Europe transition away from Russian sources or whether nuclear power is a better solution. There was another debate about whether the democratic states should continue trading with regimes that do not try to protect human rights and democracy, or whether "we are all sinners," and therefore should not discriminate against countries that behave atrociously.

Simone Abram is a professor of anthropology at Durham University where she is also a Director of the Durham Energy Institute, and is the current Chair of the Association of Social Anthropologists in the UK. She holds a BSc/MEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, an MSt and DPhil in Social and Cultural Anthropology. Simone's research projects span across multiple fields and a wide range of interests with a strong focus on energy. Simone is currently a researcher at the National Centre for Energy Systems Integration (CESI), a £5m 5-year, 5-university research project, in which she brings anthropological methods and perspectives to the process and conceptualisation of energy modelling, and at the Include research centre for socially inclusive energy transitions, based in Oslo Norway. Additionally, Simone has recently helped to found a new European network on energy anthropology, is a member of the EASA Future Anthropology Network and a series editor of the Berghahn Public and Applied Anthropology series with Prof Sarah Pink.Corina and Maria talk to Simone about the anthropology of energy, ethics in the field of energy governance and sustainability dilemmas for individuals and communities alike. What questions brought Simone, an engineering graduate, to anthropology? Simone reflects on her own ethnography learning process, the challenge of entering a new knowledge area and the fresh perspectives brought by engaging with other disciplines. We explore other questions such as: can energy possibly have an international ethical foundation and how to reconcile different epistemological notions in order to arrive at a common understanding? What about the balance between social inequality and sustainability measures? Simone shares her thoughts and experiences as a researcher, academic and an individual actively engaged in community building practices. Mentioned in Podcast:Durham Energy Institute, https://www.dur.ac.uk/dei/Arctic encounters: Contemporary Travel/Writing in the European High North, http://heranet.info/projects/hera-2012-cultural-encounters/arctic-encounters-contemporary-travelwriting-in-the-european-high-north/Just Transition: Pathways to Socially Inclusive Decarbonisation, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344475984_Just_Transition_Pathways_to_Socially_Inclusive_DecarbonisationWendy Parker on climate modelling, https://durham.academia.edu/WendyParkerTimothy Morton, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Morton Social media:Twitter: @MScEnSocLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-abram/?originalSubdomain=uk

How can we explain the geographical variation of populism in Europe? In the North, right-wing populism dominates, while for many years left-wing populism has been the common in the South. Outside Europe, for example in Latin America, governments frequently shift between left and right populist presidents. In a talk at the Hertie School, Philip Manow discussed populist protest in various political economies by looking at how vulnerable they are to the two most powerful features of globalisation: the movement of goods and capital across borders and migration. This event was part of the Examining populism series, which invites speakers of different disciplinary backgrounds for discussions on the causes, effects and implications of the populist rise. It is co-chaired by Hanna Schwander, Professor of Public Policy, and Christian Flachsland, Assistant Professor of Climate and Energy Governance at the Hertie School of Governance.

The upcoming 2019 European parliament election is increasingly portrayed as a fundamental turning point in the process of European integration. Following electoral gains in previous European and national elections in recent years, anti-EU populist parties are expected to increase their support even further, challenging the European project at its core. How can we explain the support of these parties and what are the implications for the future of Europe? In this talk, Daphne Halikiopoulou addresses these questions by focusing on multiple dimensions of populism. She argues that since the EP elections are considered “second order elections,” they will be used to cast protest votes, thus exaggerating the performance of niche parties. However, she argues that the implications of these elections for the European project are still significant, because of the ability of anti-EU populist parties to permeate mainstream ground and delegitimize the idea of a united Europe. Niklas Anzinger from Dalia Research joins Daphne for a discussion and offers his insights from a European polling perspective. This event is part of the Hertie School of Governance "Examining Populism" series, which invites speakers of different disciplinary backgrounds for discussions on the causes, effects and implications of the populist rise. It is co-chaired by Hanna Schwander, Professor of Public Policy, and Christian Flachsland, Assistant Professor of Climate and Energy Governance at the Hertie School of Governance.

Host Kristin Hayes talks with Dr. Christian Flachsland, head of the Governance Working Group at Germany's Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, and an assistant professor for Climate and Energy Governance at the Hertie School of Governance. They discuss the ongoing carbon pricing debate in Germany, the EU Emissions Trading System (EUETS), and ways to make these policies more efficient while still achieving climate goals.
