Future energy plans will be discussed at length, in the Newcastle Institute's next monthly forum.
The forum will include experts across three renewable energy topics, including green hydrogen, technologies, and future job arrangements.
Speakers include engineer and researcher Dr Jessica Allen, the NSW Treasury Energy Corporation's Adam Clarke, and Hunter Jobs Alliance coordinator Warwick Jordan.
Chairman Ross Kerridge says it's an important topic to discuss.
"There is still a lot of questions about how this is going to happen, how the technology works and how it will impact jobs," he said.
"New energy provides new challenges, which will impact infrastructure and jobs in the Hunter, so we need to know about those things."
"There's going to be a need for new infrastructure to provide stable energy, and store it when it's in abundance."
The forum comes amid major shifts to the region's energy sector, such as the Mount Arthur Coal Mine's recently announced 2030 closure.
The event's scheduled for July 13 at the United Sports Club in Adamstown.
