The Smart Energy Council is delighted to announce the appointment of Nigel Morris to the role of Chief Strategy Officer.

With over three decades in the industry, Chief Executive John Grimes says, Nigel has been at the forefront of development in Australian renewables and is a true standard-bearer for smart energy.

“The Smart Energy Council has a long and proud tradition of evolution in solar sector support, constantly fine tuning our services and capabilities to suit industry needs.”

“Nigel’s decades long experience across almost every part of the industry strengthens our in-house, hands-on knowledge which will allow us to move faster and deliver even more for our members and the sector.”

Mr Morris says Australia is already a renowned smart energy leader, yet more ambition is needed to continue innovating and installing solar at ever increasing rates.

“It requires a huge effort to ensure that the environment we operate in is fit for purpose, and I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to help shape the Smart Energy Council’s services for the next generation of solar installers and owners.”

“I’ve been around the edges of industry support for decades and am wildly excited to be joining the Smart Energy Council, expanding my experience and most of all, being 100% focused on helping the wider renewables sector grow.”

“The SEC has proven to be a formidable body that delivers time and time again, and their influence and reach is expanding exponentially.”

Nigel Morris will commence as Chief Strategy Officer with the Smart Energy Council on 1 September, 2025.
