INTERVIEW | SKY NEWS with Jaynie Seal: Australia’s Energy Future – The Role of Batteries, Renewables

In an interview with Jaynie Seal, Tim Buckley discussed key energy issues facing Australia. He emphasized the importance of protecting national interests, particularly about key trade partners like China, Japan and Korea, and highlighted the growing importance of batteries in the energy market. He predicts that batteries will be the biggest disruption of 2025, driving the accelerating transition to electric vehicles and solar energy storage. He also noted that batteries can help lower power prices by storing solar energy during peak demand hours.

To address rising energy costs, he called for greater investment in energy capacity, grid upgrades, and battery deployment. He praised programs like Western Australia’s subsidies for home batteries, which could drastically reduce household energy bills.
