On Wednesday 14 November, we officially launched our Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Energy (ISE) project group, led by our Special Counsel and experienced industry consultant Christopher Hewitt. Surrounded by team members, clients, and industry peers, celebrations began with a warm welcome from our Head of Brisbane Office, partner Emily Jennings, and an address by our Managing Partner, Daniel Moulis.

Danny shared highlights of his Tintinesque career in the law, such as agrochemical trade negotiations in Buenos Aires during the 2002 farmer riots, and appearing before the 13 Grand Chamber judges of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. Always being up for the challenge, always innovating, and always seeking to make the world a better place - the foundation of the Moulis Legal firm culture, and the inspiration for our ISE project group.

The atmosphere was intimate and buzzing with conversations, insights and ideas on the future of energy and infrastructure. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces mingling, building relationships, and sharing expertise. The drama of dark skies and flashes of lightning over the river, against the backdrop of Brisbane’s CBD towers, only added to the electricity of the evening.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to make the inauguration of our ISE project group a resounding success.

Australia experienced a surge in green energy interest, investment, and feasibility following the election of the current Australian Government and the decision to join the Paris Agreement with a commitment to net zero by 2050. The shift to fully renewable energy appeared inevitable.

However, transitioning to green energy is proving to be complex, expensive, and capital-intensive, especially amid a slowing global economy. Feasibility studies now report alarming capital and operational costs, raising doubts about projected returns on investment. International investors are favouring projects in regions with lower costs and more streamlined regulatory environments, such as the United States, which offers significant incentives through its Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and a more flexible approach to low-carbon and blue energy options.

Australia is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition journey. Developers, investors, and energy companies must make strategic, informed decisions to protect their investments and foster sustainable value. This may lead to a pragmatic shift away from purely green energy projects toward more balanced investments in lower-carbon options that deliver returns and provide a foundation for reinvestment in future transition phases. Incremental, evidence-based changes may lack dramatic appeal but offer a more sustainable path forward in the long run.
