Race to 2030

Race for 2030 is an industry-led cooperative research centre established in 2020 to accelerate the transition to reliable, affordable, clean energy for 2030.

The research is organised in five programs: RACE for Business, RACE for Homes, RACE for Networks, RACE for EVs, RACE for Change (covering cross-sectoral issues). RACE’s research learnings will be driven into the market through our market transformation programs to deliver our targets of reducing energy costs, cutting carbon emissions and increasing customer load flexibility to allow increased penetration of renewables in the grid and increased reliability.

UNSW is supporting the RACE for Homes work package which aims to make people’s homes more comfortable while lowering their energy bills by developing and applying new energy technologies. The Centre for Sustainable Development Reform is leading on work Package 1 – policy and legal changes to support energy upgrades to the Australian Homes.
