Description: New South Wales stands at the centre of one of the most ambitious energy transformations in Australia's history, and this timely book maps the terrain of that shift with clarity and depth. From the sun-soaked western plains to the wind-swept coastal ridges, from the enduring legacy of the Snowy scheme to the contested corridors carrying new transmission lines, it explores how a state built on coal is reimagining its power future. Along the way, it examines Renewable Energy Zones, battery storage, and the community tensions that shape every step of progress. An essential read for anyone curious about where the grid is heading — and what it will take to get there.
