Isolated from mainland Tasmania and at the mercy of the elements, the residents of Flinders Island have always prided themselves on their self-reliance. We take a trip across the Bass Strait as Hydro Tasmania's new Hybrid Energy Hub kicks in to gear to find out how the shift away from diesel generation to renewables will affect lives. Dewi Cooke meets some of the locals and hears how this small island has lived with intermittent electricity for years, while Adam Morton gets the lowdown on the Hub from Hydro Tasmania's manager of Hybrid Energy Solutions, Ray Massie.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

My Island Home: A postcard from Flinders Island

Rewired is back for its biggest season yet.
In season four, we will hear how ARENA funding is helping to trial new ways of producing metals like steel and aluminium using renewable energy.
Experts will share progress commercialising technologies like renewable hydrogen and electric vehicles, which are finally achieving long-held potential.
And we will explore how Australia&rsquo;s riches of wind and solar could unlock opportunities to undertake more energy-intensive processes onshore, creating jobs and wealth.
This is our most ambitious season to date, with twice as many episodes giving us the chance to showcase more of the ways Australia is unlocking a renewable energy future.
