Alicia Webb Wind engineer and author of the report.
Alicia is an engineer with a passion for wind and has been working in the wind industry since 2004. Alicia will present an overview of the report, looking at the different types of micro turbines, what is available in Australia as well as the considerations around installing micro turbines in residential Melbourne.

Dominique is one of Australia’s leading wind energy authorities and is well renowned for her advocacy of wind energy. Dominique will look at the potential of wind energy, innovation in the Australian wind industry and current incentives (VRET, emissions trading, NRET and MRET).
