Reform is overdue for communities where energy insecurity and household disconnections are a daily reality, not an emerging risk.

Prepayment meters are a shonky deal swept under the carpet by energy service providers and government.

Bring on community owned local grids.

Prepayment customers are not anomalies, but energy consumers who deserve the same protections and reliability all energy consumers deserve; because access to energy is a precursor to participation in community and economic life.

Prepayment for electricity has been a convenient tool for governments and retailers to shift risk and responsibility for energy debt onto low-income households.

It reflects a deep policy failure.

Electricity prepayment customers should be at the centre of energy reform, not the fringes.

These consumers cannot choose their retailer, access competitive offers, or benefit from rooftop solar or lower-cost opportunities available to most Australians.

First Nations groups can participate as equity or debt investors in clean energy projects. Doing so can improve investor’s access to pools of capital and decrease the time taken for projects to progress through development.

Everyone benefits! assets.nationbuilder.com/fncen/pages/... #auspol #energy

Absent explicit legal status for FPIC, binding benefit-sharing and adequate resourcing, the Victorian Access Regime risks repeating historic patterns of extractive development that exclude First Nations people.

A big thank you to everyone who attended PowerMakers 2025!

PowerMakers built on the capacity and knowledge of future First Nations leaders to support communities in the clean energy transition.

We’ve come a long way!
