It's not nearly as exciting as saving 63% on your power bill, but TRY has been having a say on energy policy. Look out for the parliamentary committee report in October.

Lots of info in this thread about the jobs created by renewable energy. We need this in our regional/rural areas and all over Australia - it's a once in a century shot in the arm. We need a Local Power Plan. @helenhainesindi #LocalPowerPlan #renewables

A really powerful day of testimonies today at the parliamentary enquiry into the Australian Local Power Agency bill. TRY was proud to be able to contribute with others and advocate for the benefits of community energy to communities. Thanks @helenhainesindi for all your work!

Today the Environment and Energy Committee will hold a public hearing into my Australian Local Power Agency Bill. It kicks off in just over 10 minutes - you can tune in here: aph.gov.au/Watch_Read_Listen #LocalPowerPLan

We were thrilled to have a special visitor in Yack on Thursday, checking out the installation at the CFA and the post office. It was an honour to meet such a delightful and engaging person!

Meeting with Totally Renewable Yackandandah, a community organisation pursuing 100% renewable energy for the town. Grateful to Indigo Shire Mayor, Cr Jenny O’Connor, and to Matt Charles-Jones and Ben McGowan, for sharing their vision and for a tour of the battery sites.

The other pioneering #communityEnergy enterprise in Australia is Denmark Community Wind Farm. A contemporary and peer of @hepburnwind. Both achieved amazing outcomes and benefits for their communities.

And to continue the conversation on @hepburnwind, after ten years of community wind energy they're still innovating #znet #communityEnergy
22 Jun 2021
As Australia's first community-owned wind farm, we're now looking at another first, becoming a community-owned hybrid facility with solar and battery storage.
To reflect these big changes we thought it was time for a new name.....

Now this is a story! We have many groups asking us how we do what we do. Read Hepburn Wind's story - they're one of the first and an inspiration. The secret is persistence and conversations - engage your community. Happy anniversary @hepburnwind 🎉 #communityEnergy

🧵22 june marks @hepburnwind's 10th anniversary of generating clean energy!
since the very first kWh sent into the grid ten years ago, gale & gusto, the two turbines of australia's first community-owned wind farm have generated more than 100,000,000 kWh!
here's how it happened:

"They like to grow their own vegetables, and they like to share their vegetables amongst themselves. And they see electricity in much the same way."
Good piece on community batteries and the great @TotalRenewYack

For the time being, I'd like to thank everyone who helped create the Local Power Plan and who has helped get the Bill to this point. This is genuine, grass-roots policy-making by regional Australia, for regional Australia.

Excellent article by Taryn Lane explaining the results of her Churchill Fellowship on communities progressing towards zero emissions. A key component: bring on a #CommunityEnergyTarget
