Welcome Dr Jill Cainey MBE - new Independent Chair

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Jill Cainey MBE as new Independent Chair of our Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG).
		Dr Cainey will replace outgoing Chair, Amy Abraham, who is stepping down after 12 months in the role due to an interstate move. Highly regarded within the energy industry, Jill is an established technical expert, stakeholder engagement specialist and strategic advisor with over 30 years of experience as a climate scientist and over 15 years of experience in UK, European, US and Australian electricity sectors. Jill currently advocates for the interests of Australian electricity consumers and has previously advocated for the clean energy industry and electricity networks in Australia, as well as the interests of electricity storage in the UK and Europe. Earlier in her career Jill ran Australia’s climate and weather monitoring station at kennaook/Cape Grim on Tasmania's north-west coast, supporting communities, businesses and electricity networks to collaboratively develop resilient sources of electricity - regardless of what the weather is doing. Jill will assume full Chair duties from late July after a handover with outgoing Chair, Amy Abraham, with her first official meeting in mid-September. Welcome Jill!
