‘Engineering, Technology and Innovation’

Kia ora koutou

What will the electricity industry look like in 2050? How will the 4^th Industrial Revolution reshape our future?

Changes in engineering, new technology and market innovation are reshaping the global energy sector. New Zealand’s focus is clearly on delivering a low carbon economy, smart energy and enabling emerging technologies, while continuing to safely deliver a secure and reliable electricity supply.

To deliver a better life for New Zealanders, engineers can shape and deliver the ‘green growth’ future that is being demanded by Government and customers through being innovators, influencers and change makers. Innovation, technology, a community centric focus, managing the exponential growth in electric vehicles, distributed generation, big data, asset management and regulatory models are about ‘engineering’ - and that is a key to enabling our energy future.

The 2019 EEA Conference will be held in Auckland and is New Zealand’s largest technical power industry event. It brings together national and international thought leaders, innovators, engineering practitioners, regulators and leading technology companies.

The Conference Programme will deliver thought provoking keynote presentations, interactive panel discussions and technical papers on subject areas that are most relevant to people working our electricity supply industry.

The Trade Exhibition is the showcase for technology companies and their products, coming from around the world to take part as exhibitors, speakers and attendees. It is a great opportunity for exhibitors to profile the latest services and products, and for delegates to engage and learn about the benefits and opportunities from new products/services.

Put the dates in your diary, 25-27 June 2019, and I look forward to seeing you at our 2019 conference.

Noho ora mai.
