Global Power Energy

A nuclear Christmas is not a phrase we were expecting to lead our 2024 season’s greetings but here we are, so wait for it. To all the saints commonly referred to as clients, colleagues and stakeholders but we think of as our friends we wish you all a Merry Christmas. Thanks to those Brisbane based who joined as at Malt last week we had a blast catching up on the year. Normally these messages get used to blast business success and growth but this year we noticed something else we’d like to use this brief moment of attention we have to call out, in the Spirit of Christmas. The nuclear debate erupted, and this isn’t about that, this is about humans. At the centre of this debate is the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and our Integrated System Plan. Many of us here at GPE are ex-AEMO and wanted to use this message to give you some insight on what that feels like. Now we do this conscious it could be seen as a way to get some Christmas cheer from AEMO next year, but we do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. Having your work, your life, your efforts and your dedication forensically unpacked by the highest Offices and Outlets in the land makes for an interesting year. What we’d like everyone to notice is these are humans on the end of the phone, in the screen and on the tip of your fingers. These are humans that carry the most important job in the country. Keeping the critical infrastructure that underpins all critical infrastructure operating. That’s something you feel when working at AEMO and the ISP and everything else is a reflection of those humans striving to do their best. Like we all do. Christmas at Southbank is a reflection of how we dance our way through this energy transition. As we all clamber for Daniel's attention we should set the table in our minds first. AEMO’s down the front leading our crowd but our spirit should be one, and our words kind. A photo still speaks a thousand of those. That’s not to say we don’t debate. We still do that. We’re all fighting for our advice in the crowd and while we do we’ve all made mistakes and generally it’s not on purpose. We’re all striving to do our very best. And when the lights rely on your best, that’s a human that feels that. We debate. But we learn to be kind. We can be sorry. We move on to the next. And so we all find our best patch of grass to help stop this planet from boiling. That’s the best we all are striving for. And so this is Christmas. And as we all engage in 2025, let it be all year.
