This event has been developed to build and accelerate the knowledge of industry employees and business owners on best practice when it comes to the design, installation and maintenance of renewable hybrid systems. The main goal of this conference is to help businesses take advantage of cleaner energy through improving the quality of their power generation systems. The event will have a technical focus, covering key design, implementation, and operational considerations for solar/diesel hybrid and battery systems including installation and maintenance. Also covered will be the hurdles encountered when introducing solar to an existing diesel power system, retrofitting, and the importance of maintaining consistent electricity.

Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition 2018
Energy Networks Australia is delighted to announce that our biennial Conference and Exhibition will be held in Sydney at the International Convention Centre from Tuesday 5 to Thursday 7 June 2018.
Energy Networks 2018 will be the leading forum for energy networks and their partners in Australia in 2018.
The landscape for the energy network sector has shifted dramatically with major changes in technology, customer behaviour and regulation. Energy networks are leading the transformation of the grid into a platform for new products and services — empowering customers with new information, new tools and new ways to cut costs.
This is your opportunity to be part of this critical national conversation on the future of the energy grid.
We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney in 2018.

The Mine Electrical Safety Association announces their 29th Mine Electrical Safety Conference (MESC) at the Pullman Mercure King George Square Hotel, Brisbane from Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th July 2018.
The formation of the MESA was the first of its kind in Queensland, being established well before the industry focus on safety. For over 25 years the MESA Association or MESC (Mine Electrical Safety Committee as it was originally known as) has been an integral conduit between the working face of the industry – suppliers and government departments in identifying electrical safety problems and by consultation, provide information with a view to improving safety and productivity.
From humble beginnings at the first conference, which was held at Blackwater mine in central Queensland with just a handful of delegates, this event is now seen as the premier Electrical Mining Safety Conference in Queensland.
The event brings together government departments, consultants, suppliers and key industry decision makers within the electrical field to hear technical presentations on all matters relating to electrical safety within the mining industry. A trade exhibition for the benefit of the delegates is also conducted in conjunction with the conference.
This year we will be seeking submissions for the Ken Innes Perpetual award as well as the innovation award.
By far the showcase achievement of the association is the continued development of the annual conference and trade exhibition, but this has not been the only issue tackled, other focuses have been on safety of hand held meters for electrical testing, welding safety and maintenance of a nominated electrical position within legislation.
Wednesday 25th & Thursday 26th July 2018
