Dr Geoff James is consultant in clean energy and is respected as a thought leader following almost 30 years of multidisciplinary research with government and private-sector clients. His research and consulting interests include integrating renewable energy in power systems, distribution network evolution, international clean energy trade, energy market development in Asia, and energy storage technology and applications.
In 2017 Geoff started working with Planet Ark Power on grid-interactive solar/storage microgrids at commercial customer sites. He also co-founded Pilbara Solar to develop solar projects in north-west Australia using new business models that provide equity to Traditional Owners. This is a pre-requisite for scaling up and engaging with ASEAN to establish Australia’s renewable energy export industry.
