In this episode, our guest is Glenne Drover, a passionate energy professional and currently the Company Secretary at Yarra Energy Foundation. Though semi-retired, Glenne remains deeply active in shaping Australia's energy landscape through consulting, advocacy, and public engagement. We discuss the evolving battery storage landscape, with Glenne providing rich insights into vanadium redox flow batteries, salt-based alternatives, and iron-air innovations. He shares his experience helping commercialize long-duration energy storage in Australia and beyond. A major focus is on community battery projects, including Yarra Energy Foundation's pioneering work that inspired both state and federal programs supporting hundreds of installations across the country. Glenne also explores the role of electric vehicles in grid support (V2G), Australia's world-leading rooftop solar economics, and the emerging challenges of energy resilience in response to extreme weather and grid reliability. This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for anyone interested in energy transition, grid innovation, or how local communities can take charge of their energy future.
