Introduction

Energy Insiders is a weekly update on clean energy and climate policy, with Renew Economy's editor Jarls Parkinson. Leading energy analyst David Leach also joins us this week to talk about the future of solar power in Australia. This week we look at an Australian technology VAST solar which has just won some significant funding both from the federal and German governments for a series of projects in Port Augusta. The CEO of our solar Craig Wood was supposed to fly back into Sydney before this podcast, but you've been waylaid in Honolulu for reasons that we will not go into.
