The energy transition has really just started and will continue for many years. as we move from traditional generation assets towards smaller, distributed renewables, what might the impacts on ETRM software be? Will there be new requirements? New solutions?

We asked four vendors for their insights and opinions including Shaun Ankers, CEO of Energy One, Chris Regan, Business Lead of Energy STP at Brady Technologies, Luca Pedretti, Co-Founder and COO at Pexapark and Ganesh Natarajan of Enuit.

The Impacts of the Energy Transition on ETRM Software - CTRMRadio Episode 29

Kim Paul Nguyen is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced a documentary film called ‘Conversations with Coal Miners about Climate Change’, funded by the Walkley Foundation and distributed by VICE. And what a film. Damon Gameau, the award-winning filmmaker of 2040, That Sugar Film, and most recently Regenerating Australia, calls it a ‘must-watch’.  In many ways, there is no more important a story. And Kim navigates it beautifully. Though not without hitting up against the challenges that make this work so vital. 

Out of the story’s dramatic and moving turns so much is revealed, including how coal miners, and the rest of us, are too often used as political pawns. And how we can get out of that trap, to have a chance at achieving more of the bigger picture outcomes just about all of us want.

Kim’s is a heck of a life story to date, and this provides the backdrop to the film. As a young person deeply concerned about climate change, he became a committed activist. In 2009 he cycled from Australia to Denmark to promote action on climate change, and was nominated for Young Australian of the Year. But it started to dawn on him that what he was doing wasn’t working. It wasn’t changing things the way he’d hoped. So he headed north, camera in hand, to dig deeper into what might.

Kim has also written for The Guardian, Al Jazeera, VICE and the Big Issue.

This conversation was recorded online with Kim at home in Sydney, on 11 May 2022.
