Following the great success of our Cairns Symposium in 2023, CIGRE Australia will be hosting an integrated suite of three conferences exploring the theme “Shaping the Power Systems of Tomorrow”.
This will be the largest CIGRE Australia event of the year and will include the 9th South East Asia Protection Automation and Control Conference (SEAPAC25) and the 7th Conference on the Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (CIDER25) along with plenary sessions on the energy transition, tutorials, a leadership breakfast hosted by Women in Energy and event for NextGen Power Professionals (focusing on the professional development for young professionals).
A focused technical conference of this nature does not take place in Australia very often and will provide delegates multiple opportunities to hear from industry leaders while developing their professional network.
It is also an excellent opportunity for businesses to connect to key industry personnel as sponsors and exhibitors.

It gives me enormous pleasure to invite you all to EEA2025 and to join us in rising to the challenge of Electrifying Aotearoa: today’s innovation, tomorrow’s system.
Aotearoa has committed to the electrification of our economy and it is our industry who lead the way in achieving change.
At EEA2025 we put the spotlight on the innovators and change-makers, the smart ideas and unique perspectives that will enable us to solve the challenges facing our industry as we design and deliver our future system.
A shift is underway toward intermittent renewables, more consumer-driven energy services, distributed resources, digitisation and automation. And yet, there are fundamentals that will never change – the need to maintain safety, reliability, resilience and affordability.
EEA2025 is where we tackle these challenges together, sharing learnings with each other and debating to reach alignment on issues. We’re incredibly proud that our conference keeps growing as does its reputation for quality.
With keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical presentations, workshops and our annual awards ceremony celebrating the brightest and the best, it is a jammed packed three days offering something for everyone.
All are welcome.
EEA2025 also includes a comprehensive Technology Exhibition providing a great opportunity for businesses to showcase technology, services, people and products, and for delegates to get ‘hands-on’ with future options and solutions. Known as the largest annual sector event in the southern hemisphere, it draws international suppliers with their latest tech.
Better still, EEA2025 is all about you. Your opportunity to network and connect; to present to your peers and to learn from others; to hear about the latest research and developments, technologies and innovations.
Last conference, we welcomed more than 1200 people through the doors including 680 delegates and 220 visitors, all of whom had the chance to explore the 150 exhibitions.
So, don’t delay. Book your space at EEA2025 and join us as we lead the change to an electrified Aotearoa.
I look forward to seeing you in Ōtautahi/Christchurch in September.

After 34 events the Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC) has become the IEEE PES Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference.
AUPEC continues its traditions to bring together academics, students, researchers and practising engineers, primarily from Australasia but also from other parts of the world, to present emerging topics in power and energy.
In 2025 AUPEC will be held from 29 September-1 October 2025 in Brisbane, Australia. The conference invites researchers and industry professionals to submit new and original ideas on different aspects of power and energy engineering, which includes but is not limited to the following broad topics:
Important Dates
The Australasian Protection Testers User Group (APTUG) meeting provides a forum for sharing knowledge, developing protection and high voltage testing techniques and strategies, and learning from the experiences of others in the industry.
Presentation and discussion sessions on power system protection testing and training will be conducted in conjunction with parallel sessions for high voltage primary system equipment testing, interpreting results and sharing industry experiences.
The APTUG meetings have been run annually for the last 32 years, providing training, technical presentations, and collaborative discussions. Last year, 120 participants from 33 organisations attended and 52 presentations/open discussion sessions were provided.
We are excited to announce that AUSPTA will be holding our 2025 Conference at the Mercure Hotel in Sydney on Friday the 24th of October 2025. For those familiar with our Sydney events who might be curious why the venue has changed from the Kirribilli Club; unfortunately it is no longer in business.
The Mercure Sydney is located at 818-820 George St, Sydney NSW 2000.
For those members wishing to stay at the hotel, discount accommodation is available using the code 386771.
Registration includes complimentary morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. There will also be a catered sundowner/networking session afterwards.
We are always looking for fresh new ideas for presentations, so if you have a presentation in mind (or know somebody else who might) then please get in touch.
20 and 40 minute presentation slots are available, and we welcome a broad range of topics – they do not have to be directly related to infrared thermography/condition monitoring.
Whilst our first preference is always for in-person presentations at these events, we also have the capability to facilitate remote presentations. So if you are interested in presenting but you can’t make it in person, then please let us know anyway and we can work to make it happen.
All Energy Australia Exhibition & Conference is the Southern Hemisphere’s largest and most anticipated clean energy event. For 15+ years, All Energy Australia serves as a vital platform for industry professionals, experts, and enthusiasts to gather and witness the latest developments, innovations, and trends in the renewable energy sector.
This event provides a comprehensive showcase of cutting-edge technologies and solutions in areas like solar, wind, bioenergy, energy storage, and electric transportation. Attendees can explore a wide range of products and services, connect with key industry players, and gain insights into sustainable energy practices.
All Energy Australia is not only an exhibition and conference but also a knowledge-sharing hub.
