Overview

The clean-energy revolution is not in the future, it has already begun.

Just as the PC, internet and mobile phone revolutions transformed computing while creating a new information-based economy, the clean energy leaders will turn the architecture of energy upside down, creating a new clean energy economy. This creates an untold wealth for the entrepreneurs, companies, investors, and countries who will win the race.

The energy industry will make US$382 trillion over the next four decades.
Drawing from his recently published book Solar Trillions - 7 Market and Investment Opportunities in the Emerging Clean-Energy Economy, Tony Seba will reveal
multi-trillion dollar market opportunities from island-scale power to water; from solar air conditioning to the smart grid; from energy storage to industrial power.

Tony will be using three examples of world-class clean technology practices in New Zealand:

  1. Richard Gill, CEO, Digital Water; Mentor and Advisor, Richard A Gill & Associates

    Digital Water uses advanced digital technology that helps mitigate the growing global water crisis by measuring, managing and controlling domestic water consumption.

    Over the past twenty years, Richard has founded, led and sold some of his own high-tech startups, and helped countless companies with their technology, marketing and strategy.

  2. Margaret Cooney, Commercial and Regulatory Manager, Powershop

    Powershop is an innovative online electricity retailer that gives customers choice and control over their energy usage. It is uniquely placed to provide smart retailing to support smart transmission grid developments.

    Margaret established Powershop three years ago. She is responsible for regulatory affairs, commercial arrangements and business development initiatives.

  3. Brian Knolles, Senztek, Senztek has become involved with smart energy management in the past 3.5 years, with the likes of water heating and solar energy management.

    It aims for energy efficiency, setting the right temperatures and lowering costs to meet energy needs.
