Over the coming weeks, the National Electrical and Communications Association’s (NECA’s) 2022 Industry Night Series will be hosted at locations across Sydney, including Chullora, Sans Souci, Penrith, Dee Why and Castle Hill.

These events are essential as NSW accelerates the electrification of its infrastructure and critical economy-saving post-COVID developments. NECA’s Industry night brings together local sparkies and some of NSW’s essential departments and agencies.

Sparkies’ advanced trade requires local electricians to remain at the forefront of regulation and safety. Events like this provide rare opportunities for sparkies to meet with NSW Fair Trading, SafeWork NSW, Training NSW, Ausgrid and NECA specialists.

At these events, industry experts will discuss the electrification of NSW, the latest regulatory, compliance and safety changes, and developments to the electrical grid. From cross-border Automatic Mutual Recognition to new standalone solar system regulations, the industry nights aim to ensure sparkies remain at the forefront of the latest safety and compliance updates.

“Connecting with local electrical contractors is an essential part of our mission. Industry nights like these allow us to connect with our members, provide safety updates, and ensure they know of significant regulatory and compliance updates,” NECA chief executive Oliver Judd says.

“Our smaller local business contractors are at the forefront of the NSW construction boom and remain resilient against recent industry and economic challenges, enabling and assisting local communities.”

Amongst the experts discussing fundamental industry changes and compliance issues will be Bruce Blacker from NSW Fair Trading, Jeremy Wilson of Ausgrid, Daniel Daoud from SafeWork NSW and Felicity Zeiher from Training NSW.

The industry nights will be held in the following venues from 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm.
