Michael Barnard invites John Fitzgerald, the CEO of Supernode. John delves into the transformative potential of energy transmission technologies and the critical role of interconnectors in shaping the future of renewable energy. Drawing from his extensive background in engineering and utility management, Fitzgerald recounts his journey in the energy sector, which includes developing power stations, trading over interconnectors, and spearheading the East West Interconnector project between Ireland and the UK. His leadership at Supernode reflects his commitment to advancing superconducting transmission technology as a solution to modern energy challenges.Fitzgerald discusses the inherent limitations of alternating current (AC) transmission, particularly for underground and underwater cables, and highlights the advantages of direct current (DC) technology for long-distance energy distribution. He explains the technical intricacies of DC systems, including their capacity to manage inertia and integrate non-synchronous renewable energy. Throughout the episode, Fitzgerald emphasizes the need to address public consultation challenges in infrastructure projects to ensure the successful deployment of energy transmission networks.A central theme of the conversation is the evolving role of interconnectors. Once primarily used to exploit price differences between energy markets, interconnectors are now crucial for balancing variable renewable energy across regions. Fitzgerald explores the immense potential of continental-scale grids in Europe and advocates for tripling grid capacity to meet future energy demands. He also highlights groundbreaking projects like Sun Cable, which aims to connect Australia to Singapore, and the NATO-L project, which envisions transatlantic power transmission, underscoring the benefits of intercontinental energy connectivity for enhancing energy security.The episode concludes with a forward-looking perspective on the energy transition. Fitzgerald calls for greater investment in HVDC technology, praises China's advancements in this area, and urges listeners to stay informed about opportunities to integrate renewables through interconnectors. By fostering interconnected grids, he argues, the global energy landscape can achieve greater efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

In the clash of the billionaires over what could be the southern hemisphere's biggest-ever solar farm,  Mike Cannon-Brookes has taken control of the 'Sun Cable' project over Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest.

Senior journalists Jack McGinn and Claire Tyrrell discuss changes to Perth's housing market over the decades. Plus: Billionaire buys Sun Cable; State flags tenancy changes, and Perth Mint's market share slip.

The Sun Cable project in northern Australia is one of the largest solar projects in the world. From here, solar power is to flow from Australia to Singapore. But the project is currently stalling. The reason for this is, among other things, a dispute between the two richest men in Australia. SBS correspondent Barbara Barkhausen reports. - Das Sun Cable-Projekt im Norden Australiens ist eines der größten Solarprojekte der Welt. Von hier aus soll Solarstrom von Australien nach Singapur fließen. Doch augenblicklich stockt das Projekt. Grund dafür ist unter anderem ein Streit der zwei reichsten Männer Australiens. SBS-Korrespondentin Barbara Barkhausen berichtet.

How feasible are big solar projects, such as the gargantuan "Sun Cable" project. Can they really come on line in time to avoid an energy gap once fossil fuel generation has ended? Ian Verrender explains the federal governments motivation to change Australia's superannuation and Justine Schofield does a steak Barossa style. And is it best to drive in forwards, or reverse, into a carpark parking space?

 Australian billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and Andrew Forrest have fallen out over the $30b Sun Cable project, which is the giant NT solar farm that's supposed to supply Darwin, Indonesia and Singapore with power. Last week, news broke that Sun Cable has entered voluntary administration. Sun Cable was burning through cash and missing agreed targets. Both billionaires say they still support the project, but it seems they won't be working on it together, it will be interesting to see what happens next, whether one of them steps in to buy it outright. We speak to the Australian Financial Review's senior resources writer Angela Macdonald-Smith about the story behind the Sun Cable bust up? Headlines: - Australian suspected dead following Nepal plane crash- Joe Biden in hot water over documents- NSW Premier referred to police over Nazi costume- Romanian authorities seize Andrew Tate assets- Australian Open begins Follow The Briefing: Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Jason outlines his highs and lows of parenting this week before we talk about the crypto market rallying by 20%, the "Sun Cable" solar farm going into voluntary administration, the CDC finding a "safety signal" in Pfizers latest bivalent juice (and what we really think is going on in the background) and much much more!

True leaders know you never arrive. Your leadership journey is ongoing and often requires change. That concept can elicit just as much pushback from someone at the bottom of the food chain to those right at the top. Linda Coates, Chief People Officer at Sun Cable, oversaw executive development of senior leaders at a global organization implementing the “who, not what” principle. In this episode, Linda shares the transformations she saw, but her story isn't without its stumbling blocks. Few things of great value are ever easy. As you listen, you'll learn what it means to lead with humanity and curiosity, remain open to change, and develop others to become leaders people want to follow.

The Sun Cable solar project in Northern Territory - aka the world's largest renewable energy system - has officially been deemed “investment ready."

A 12,000 hectare solar farm, set to be built in Outback Northern Territory, will produce even more electricity than originally planned.

Solar energy is changing the world and 5B Solar has created an innovative solution for large scale sites - the MAVERICK. It's prefabricated, modular, rapidly-deployable and enables projects to be delivered more safely, three times faster and using half the land vs conventional technology. Chris McGrath shares the story of how he and his mate Eden came up with the idea, didn’t sleep for three days and then hashed out their business plan over a bottle of whisky. He also shares some insights into the solar industry, we discuss the “bat shit crazy” Sun Cable project and then how 5B assisted with bushfire recovery. We also touch on the debate about the number of jobs created in the solar industry versus fossil fuels. The winner? Well its game, set, match - because Chris is hiring here!
