The transition to clean energy requires one of the biggest infrastructure transformations WA has ever seen. Its about turning the old power system on its head and it comes with plenty of challenges.

In this special Spotlight forum, Nadia Mitsopoulos hosted a live audience in the studios of ABC Perth to explore the question of how we are going with the move from a fossil-fuel generated system to one driven by renewable energy. She was joined by an expert panel:

• Synergy CEO David Fyfe

• ABC national energy reporter Daniel Mercer

• WA head of the Australian Energy Market Operator Kate Ryan

• Sustainable Energy Now chair Fraser Maywood

Plus lots of questions and comments from the crowd.
