By 2030, about 40 per cent of our generation will be from renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass.
The LIVE ELECTRIC: DESIGNING A LOW CARBON FUTURE conference, by inspiring and offering a glimpse into a future which is comfortable, convenient, cost-effective and electric – shares our vision that we all have the tools to build a low-carbon, electric tomorrow and by embracing these we can transform our world.
