The Queensland Energy System Advisory Board has a new team to ensure the state continues to power ahead with the energy transition.
The new board will be led by Leeanne Bond – a Queensland professional engineer who is an expert in energy and resources, technology and innovation, infrastructure and governance of major capital projects.
The board will also play a key role in providing advice and recommendations as part of the Queensland SuperGrid Infrastructure Blueprint review and update process, ensuring that the state is on the optimal infrastructure pathway.
The new board includes Bond as chair, Mark Carkeet, Peter Price, Jo Sheppard, Professor Paul Simshauser AM, Leann Wilson and Kathryn Summers.
“To deliver the energy transition we need the best of the best, and our seven board appointments represent decades of knowledge and experience in the field,” Energy and Clean Economy Jobs Minister Mick de Brenni said.
“These energy superheroes will help the Miles Government deliver on its nation leading energy plan, providing independent advice and ensuring we stay on track as we decarbonise.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with the new board, as we continue our energy transformation and work towards delivering cheaper, cleaner energy for generations to come.”
Minister de Brenni congratulated the new structure of the board and the appointed individuals.
“I’d like to congratulate board Chair Ms Leeanne Bond and the 6 new members for being part of this landmark board,” he said.
“I am excited to work with the new board and continue our energy transformation as we work toward our renewable energy and emissions reduction targets.”
