Regional Renewable Partnerships with Andy Bray – Building Community Support for the Energy Transition

In this episode, Wendy Agar speaks with Andy Bray, CEO of RE-Alliance, about a critical question for Australia’s energy transition: how can we meet national energy needs while ensuring regional communities genuinely benefit? Andy highlights that while the silent majority support renewable energy, this support is conditional—people want to understand what the transition means for their region. Drawing on RE-Alliance’s work, he explores the importance of: Clear communication about local risks and opportunities Transparency and trusted information Collective planning with communities at the centre Building local capacity to shape the transition in their region Whether you work in energy, government, or regional development, this episode makes the case for collaboration, fairness, and community-led planning as the foundation for a sustainable energy transition.   emPOWER is proudly supported by The Energy Charter, a CEO-led collaboration  across the national energy sector.  They partner with communities to create a Regional Energy Accord that guides the transition and delivers real local outcomes.   Produced By The Podcast Boss
