emPOWER: Voices of the Regional Energy Shift

In this inspiring episode, Wendy Agar sits down with Cathy McGowan for a candid conversation about the energy transition and how it’s impacting regional communities.

Together, they delve into:

• What’s needed to bring people along on a grassroots change journey
• The inspiring example of ‘Totally Renewable Yackandandah in regional Victoria
• The opportunity for regional collaboration models

Cathy shares her stories, ideas, and insights on leading change and promoting proactive engagement with the benefits of the energy transition at a community and regional level. This episode offers a mud map for community members to lead grassroots involvement and initiatives, and challenges everyone to ensure regional communities are well-informed and central to the net zero transition.
