Smart Energy Communities

29 May 2016

The Smart Energy Communities Campaign for a national policy to turbo-charge the community energy sector has been profiled on ABC News and on ABC’s PM radio.

What is Smart Energy Communities?

The campaign website describes the Smart Energy Communities vision: a bold new policy to turbo-charge community renewables in Australia. And this is what we want to win this election.

Picture it now: your local politician announcing a community energy hub for your local area, funded to the tune of a $1 million. A small team of staff (perhaps you or your colleagues, even), on hand to provide advice and support. Start up funding to help new community energy projects get off the ground. A network to link you in with others across the nation. Perhaps a shop front.
