In a national conversation increasingly defined by energy security, the Murray Region is not a bystander — it is infrastructure.

Murray Region Energy

Anchored by hydroelectric generation, the Murray Region sits at the heart of Australia's energy landscape. With more than 4,800 MW of combined generation capacity across hydroelectric, solar photovoltaic, and cogeneration — the foundation is established.

More than $120 million in government net zero investment confirms the transition is accelerating.

The Regional Futures Forum asks how this region positions itself to capture the full economic benefit of the energy transformation unfolding around us.
