National Energy Resilience Initiative

Dedicated to energy resilience

About Us

The National Energy Resilience Initiative is a cross-sector coalition of leading Australian businesses. Australia's energy crisis has exposed vulnerabilities threatening operational continuity across major sectors.

We align participating businesses on the facts to deliver a clear, bankable policy roadmap spanning immediate to long-term solutions.

Our goal is to improve the availability and affordability of domestic energy while mitigating risks associated with international market exposure.

Risks and solutions

Road Transport: Immediate cash flow impacts; transitioning to fleet electrification and hydrogen freight.

Shipping & Ports: Managing structural risks via port electrification and green methanol.

Aviation: Exposed to fuel volatility and freight pricing; accelerating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) transitions.

Heavy Industry: High fuel dependency; seeking cheaper domestic gas and electrification funds

Agriculture: High diesel costs (20–35% of variable costs); focusing on on-farm renewables and solar-battery financing.

Emergency Services: Pressures on cash flow and backup fuel reserves; building distributed renewable backups and microgrids.

Mining: Remote fuel supply and shutdown risks; shifting to hybrid power and green hydrogen.
