Energy planning for how people will live in the future

Overview

The Scenarios for Future Living project is reimagining how we plan for energy in Australia. By integrating real-world consumer foresights, emerging technology trends, and innovative forecasting tools, we’re helping the energy sector make smarter, people-centred decisions.

Our research explores how households and businesses will use energy in the future—ensuring that new policies, products, and services align with the evolving needs of diverse communities. Through new foresighting methods, scenario planning, advanced modelling, and design innovation, we’re paving the way for an energy system that is resilient, equitable, and future-ready.

The project is led by Monash University’s Emerging Technologies Lab, with researchers from UNSW’s Collaboration on Energy and Environmental Markets, UTS’s Institute for Sustainable Futures and CSIRO.
