In our first Live Spark Club event for 2025 Danny Kennedy joins us to share his recent experience on the ground in Pakistan and Bangladesh where he witnessed first hand the Energy Transformation underway with rapid deployment of solar PV. Danny shares the positive effect of China's Five Year Plans and the flywheel effect of low cost solar PV, battery storage and EV's deployed in new markets. We also discuss Australia as a beacon of successfully integrating high renewable energy assets onto our grid and how our leadership should be seen as an opportunity to build strong commercial relationships with our immediate Asian neighbours. And the opportunity for Australian to unlock the value of low cost energy in processing our iron ore, polysilicon etc, to bolster our economy and much needed exports.

Danny remains a solar rooftop revolutionary and shares great stories of optimism, and challenges from his time travelling and learning from economies moving from energy transtion to energy transformation.
