Don’t Miss: QREC Energy Connect – 24 March in Brisbane

Panel Discussion: From Investment to Impact

Queensland’s renewable energy pipeline is accelerating — but how does investment translate into real, on-the-ground regional outcomes?

Join us for QREC’s next Energy Connect as we bring together leaders from investment, infrastructure and local government to explore how capital deployment is shaping economic development, community benefit and delivery certainty across regional Queensland.

This timely panel will feature:

• David Smith, Country Head – Australia, Cubico Sustainable Investments
• Todd Emmert, Director, Qube Bulk
• Jodie Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, Western Downs Regional Council 

Moderated by Katie-Anne Mulder, CEO, QREC, the discussion will examine what successful collaboration between investors, logistics providers and local government looks like in practice — and what it will take to sustain momentum as Queensland’s energy transition gathers pace.

Energy Connect is QREC’s flagship quarterly networking event, bringing together senior leaders and teams from across renewable energy, professional services, infrastructure and government.

QREC would like to thank event sponsors, CostMEI and Vestas - Tara Wind Farm, for their support of this event.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of insight and connection.
