The Principal Policy Officer leads strategic policy and regulatory reforms that will be critical for Victoria's long-term renewable energy transition and electricity sector decarbonisation. The position leads development of Victorian input to regulatory reform processes at the national level and develops state interventions to drive investment in large-scale renewable generation and zero emissions firming capacity, such as long duration storage, in Victoria.
