The power sector is going through a period of unprecedented change due to

technology advances and the growing momentum to achieve a low carbon

future. In many markets, energy policies are being considered to respond to the

need to be more energy efficient and reduce emissions driving transformation of

the sector. In mature markets such as Australia, ageing thermal generation

assets are typically being replaced by different technologies including integrated

renewables and energy storage.

Operation and resiliency of the transmission and distribution networks will

continue to be challenged by the growing levels of variable renewable energy.

The impacts from behind the meter, electric transportation and other penetrative

technologies also need to be managed and integrated into network operation to

ensure and enhance power system stability. Smart grid and microgrid

technologies are increasingly being be deployed to manage this impact.

Jacobs power consultancy focuses on working with clients to assist in the

development and implementation of pathways to a zero carbon future. Jacobs

play a leading role helping our clients respond to the demands of the changing

market. They regularly advise government, regulatory bodies, investors,

developers and utilities. Jacobs developed the underlying model for the Finkel

review of the reliability and security of electricity supply. They provide ongoing

studies for State Governments assessing the impact of proposed energy market

policies, model the benefits of proposed major interconnector transmission

projects, support the development of pumped storage and battery storage

projects and are working with yjeir clients to deliver the majority of wind and solar

projects across Australia.

Jacobs has been a CEDA member since 2007.
