This is not a distant dream. Sydney alreadyholds the ingredients: Where energy flows dynamically– across rooftops, batteries, andelectric vehicles – responding inreal time to the needs of the gridand the rhythms of the city. World-leading rooftop solar. A growing fleet of electric vehicles (EVs). Efficient and resilient electrical networks. Imagine if every communitycould store, share, and shapeits own energy future. If homesand businesses could shifttheir energy demand to matchabundant solar supply. A vibrant network of innovators, councils,and communities ready to lead. Building on the inspiration of renewableenergy zones, we can create a more resilient,responsive, and inclusive energy systemfor Metropolitan Sydney. This is about more than electrons. It’s abouteconomic development, energy equity, andempowering people to be part of the solution. It’s about designing a city that works withthe grid - not against it - and building afuture that’s powered locally, governedcollaboratively, and shared by all. Executivesummary Sydney is undergoing amajor shift in how weproduce and use energy... Image © Endeavour Energy Sydney could meet 75% of its own energy needswith abundant rooftop solar and batteries. This transition isn’t justtechnical - it’s about rethinkingour whole approach to energyto make it fairer, cheaper,and better for everyone. Sydney could meet at least75% of its annual energy needsthrough rooftop solar paired withbattery storage. While centralbusiness district (CBD) buildingsmight cover only 5% of theirenergy needs through rooftopsolar, industrial estates couldproduce between 500% to 1000%of their energy requirements,creating substantial excesspower that could benefit nearbyresidential areas, includingapartment buildings thatcurrently lack access to solar. Solar panels on roofs,batteries in homesand neighbourhoods,electric cars, andsmart appliances arechanging the energylandscape frombig power stationstowards local andcommunity-basedsolutions.
