New.E. The driving force behind the New Energy revolution in the Hunter and beyond.
At New.E, we envision a future where the Hunter will be Australia’s leading new energy hub and technology cluster, demonstrated by excellence in research, innovation, technology and education, production, use, export and employment participation across the new energy supply chains. Through strategic initiatives and partnerships, we are paving the way for regional and statewide economic growth, environmental sustainability, and energy security.
Our mission is to spearhead innovation, foster collaboration, and drive economic development to accelerate the growth of the new energy industries within our local communities and across the state.
The Hunter New Energy Symposium returns to Newcastle City Hall in 2026 with a refined format, a clear delivery focus, and a broader platform designed to reflect the scale and significance of the energy transformation underway in the Hunter.
HNES2026 will serve as the anchor event of Hunter New Energy Week – a new initiative from New.E that builds on the Symposium’s strong foundation and expands its reach to reflect the scale, complexity and significance of energy transformation in the Hunter.
