The growth of AI and the data centres to power it has grown rapidly with the demand for energy and water causing public backlash and unknown consequences for the energy grid and environment.
We welcome Rob Grant (MBA 1996) as our guest speaker to look at these issues and possible solutions.
Rob Grant is Managing Director, Head of Projects at Pollination, where he leads Pollination's project development platform. For 30 years, Rob has been personally and professionally passionate about advocating for and delivering industrial decarbonisation and clean energy policy, regulation, project investments, businesses and industries. Rob is also a Non-Executive Director at Western Power and Advisory Board Member for Curtin University.
Join in the discussion on this important energy transition topic that is impacting both city and regional communities and economies across WA, Australia and globally.
