The energy transition isn't coming. It's already here , and electrification is driving it.

The 2026 Lumière VERT Talk explores one of the most consequential shifts of our time: how electrifying our energy systems can deliver real, immediate impact for communities, economies, and the climate.

This year's theme — "The Electrification Dream: Powering Reliable, Affordable and Sovereign Communities" — reflects the shared ambition of French and Australian stakeholders to advance electrified energy systems that actually work for people.

Drawing on France's long-standing expertise in energy transition and Australia's accelerating clean energy leadership, the session tackles the full picture. The real costs and challenges of getting there — infrastructure, investment, skills — and the compelling co-benefits waiting on the other side: more stable energy costs, improved health and quality of life, stronger community empowerment, and meaningful progress on climate.

This is the conversation that shapes what comes next.
