The region is set to host an important national event that will focus on the “state of play” of Australia’s energy and economic future.
The Noosa Power and Energy Conference (NPEC) 2025 will bring together some of the country’s top minds in energy, economics and clean technology.
Over two days, leaders from across government, industry and research will converge in Noosa to examine what’s next for energy and economic transition in Australia.
With ambitious decarbonisation targets on the horizon, the NPEC 2025 comes at a pivotal time for the sector.
Hosted by The Cleantech Network, the event will spotlight the technologies, policies and partnerships driving real-world progress and put regional voices at the centre of the national conversation.
The conference is positioned as an opportunity for regional stakeholders to contribute to national decision-making and to hear insights into the technological, economic and environmental challenges ahead from the experts that advise Australia’s leaders.
NPEC event organiser Jasmin Holmes said the conference aimed to foster collaboration across sectors and generate discussion around policy, technology and investment opportunities.
“The NPEC is not just another industry event – it’s a national gathering of cutting-edge thinkers, leaders, and innovators in the energy space, set against one of Australia’s most beautiful backdrops,” she said.
“This year’s conference will spotlight the full breadth of Australia’s energy transition.”
Key themes for the 2025 conference include power transmission, regional renewable energy leadership, energy storage innovation, hydrogen and biofuels, mining and agriculture in the energy transition, regional engagement, AI in energy systems, and wind and grid integration.
Among the confirmed speakers are renowned energy policy expert Tony Wood and former New South Wales Treasurer and Environment Minister and Chair of the Climate Change Authority, Matt Kean, alongside a range of figures from clean energy, technology, finance, and government sectors.
Attendees will include stakeholders from local, state and federal government, as well as investors, academics and advocacy groups working on climate and energy initiatives.
“NPEC 2025 is designed for a wide range of energy sector stakeholders — from industry professionals driving innovation in renewables and cleantech, to government representatives at the local, state, and federal level shaping economic development, energy policy and implementation,” Ms Holmes said.
“The event will also attract investors and venture capitalists seeking the next wave of scalable, sustainable solutions, alongside academics, researchers, educators and environmental advocacy groups contributing to Australia’s decarbonisation agenda.
“With a strong media presence and participation from key industry influencers, the conference is a hub for bold ideas, strategic networking, and high-impact collaboration.”
Ms Holmes said it wasn’t a “dark ballroom and stale coffee kind of conference”, but a blend of formal and informal programming, with gourmet catering featuring local produce, networking events and an intimate evening with speakers accompanying the main presentations.
The program will kick off with a golf day on June 23 at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort.
The conference runs from June 24-25 at Peppers Noosa Resort. Tickets are available via noosapec.com.
NPEC 2025 is supported by Remote Energy and Nextracker.
