Powering Australia’s Energy Future through Tech
The Consumer Energy Tech Alliance (CETA) is a pioneering initiative by the Tech Council of Australia (TCA), uniting technology leaders in consumer energy resources (CER) to drive Australia’s energy transition. With these energy solutions reshaping the energy landscape, CETA ensures that tech innovation, consumer empowerment, and fair competition are at the forefront of policy and industry discussions.
The widespread adoption of solar, battery storage, and smart technologies is transforming the energy grid, turning consumers into active energy producers. This presents opportunities for increased renewable energy generation, greater reliability and lower energy prices.
CETA is dedicated to realising these opportunities through fostering collaboration between industry, government, and consumers, ensuring that technology plays a critical role in building a more efficient, inclusive energy system for all Australians.
Official Launch: 25 February 2025, at TCA’s CEO, Founder, MD Drinks in Sydney
FOUNDING MEMBERS
CETA’s founding members represent some of Australia’s most innovative consumer energy technology companies. Their work is reshaping energy markets, driving affordability, and improving grid resilience in line with the nation’s net-zero goals.
Why the Tech
Council created
CETA
The Tech Council established CETA to empower consumer energy technology companies, recognising their unique contribution to Australia’s energy policy landscape. CETA offers a unified platform to allow these companies to actively shape energy policy, fostering an environment where forward-thinking ideas and collaborations thrive.
CETA was formed to:
- Bridge the gap between technology innovators and policymakers.
- Ensure tech-driven solutions deliver lower costs and more innovative, engaging energy services.
- Promote fair competition, consumer choice, and accelerate the adoption of new energy solutions.
- Advocate for better integration and coordination of consumer energy technologies to drive Australia’s energy transition.
Why CETA?
Empowering Consumers in Australia’s Energy Transition
Consumers are now active participants in Australia’s energy system—investing in solar, batteries, EVs, and smart technologies. Australia must prepare for an energy landscape that embraces the rapid adoption of these solutions.
As Australia advances toward a more sustainable energy future, seamlessly integrating consumer energy resources into the national grid is essential. Effective management of this transition will ensure Australians benefit from cleaner energy, lower costs, and a more reliable energy system.
CETA is committed to addressing these gaps by advocating for:
- Policies that promote the adoption of consumer-driven energy solutions.
- Fairer competition in energy markets to drive innovation and investment.
- Smart regulation of energy technologies to ensure secure, efficient, and scalable energy solutions.
By bringing together leading tech innovators, CETA ensures that consumer energy solutions play a central role in shaping Australia’s energy future, maintaining system reliability while empowering consumers.
CETA's POLICY PRIORITIES
As the adoption of renewable energy grows, ensuring stable, efficient, and affordable integration into the grid is critical. CETA champions a balanced approach, combining innovation with system security, to realise the full potential of consumer energy resources.
1. Placing consumers at the heart of the energy transition
Empowering all Australians to choose energy solutions that align with their needs and ensure they realise the economic benefits of their CER investments.
2. Driving the national orchestration of consumer energy resources
Developing tailored initiatives and incentives that enable CER to contribute meaningfully to the national energy agenda.
3. Ensuring appropriate regulation and standards for consumer energy resources
Establishing robust regulatory frameworks and technical standards to ensure CER delivers reliable, efficient, and coordinated electricity services, supporting the long-term stability of the energy sector.
How to get
involved
CETA welcomes technology companies working in consumer energy, renewables, and smart grid solutions.
To participate in the Consumer Energy Tech Alliance, companies must be Tech Council members and be focused on consumer energy, renewables, smart grid solutions, and be engaged in CER R&D in Australia with downstream operations that deliver competitively priced energy technology products and services.
