Richard Day
Director Strategy, Policy and Communications, SA Govt

Richard will share insights into South Australia’s clean energy journey, transforming from 0% to 68% renewables in just 15 years, exiting coal fired electricity generation, and successfully integrating a world leading share of variable renewables and rooftop solar PV. Richard will share the lessons learned along the way as well as where to next as South Australia looks towards becoming a renewable energy exporter.

Richard joined the South Australian Government in 2001 and since that time has worked across the energy, climate change, industry and low carbon economy portfolios. He currently heads up a Directorate within the Department of Energy and Mining that is charged with capturing the economic growth and decarbonisation opportunities associated with South Australia’s clean energy transformation towards net 100% renewables, as well as sharing this story with the world.

Richard has spearheaded the development of SA’s Hydrogen Roadmap, Hydrogen Action Plan, Hydrogen Export Modelling Tool, and overseen the development of the State’s Electric Vehicle Action Plan. He is passionate about opportunities to further grow and attract energy intensive value-added industries to SA and export South Australia’s renewables to the world as low carbon products.
