Days 1 and 2 - building knowledge together

The Revenue Reset People’s Panel has now come together for two further sessions, continuing the journey to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing Tasmania’s energy network.

Since the initial Meet and Greet session, panellists have been steadily building their knowledge through presentations from TasNetworks subject matter experts. Together, the Panel has explored a range of important topics including reliability, resilience, consumer energy resources, digital capability, and customer experience.

The Day 1 and Day 2 sessions gave panellists the opportunity to hear directly from experts, ask questions, and explore how the network operates today, as well as how it may need to evolve in the future.

Alongside the presentations, panellists have also been working through the People’s Panel Manual, helping to build a shared understanding of the key issues and trade-offs that will be considered throughout the process.

Observers have noted the respectful and considered approach the Panel is taking to discussions. They have also asked insightful questions about how TasNetworks makes decisions about the network and balances the needs of different customers and communities.

Many panel members have also shared experiences from their own lives and local communities, helping the group consider these issues from a wide range of perspectives and real-world experiences.

As the process continues, the Panel will begin using the knowledge they have built to develop recommendations that will help shape the Combined Proposal submitted to the Australian Energy Regulator in early 2028.
