Solar Program for Moonee Valley
To support residents to reduce their carbon emissions, Moonee Valley’s sustainability team wanted to run another solar bulk buy, since their last ended a couple of years earlier.
Power Saving Bonus
The Victorian Government’s $48 million Power Saving Bonus program allows energy consumers to get the best deal on their energy bills through the Victorian Energy Compare site. However, many communities are still locked out of access to the program due to language barriers or digital illiteracy.
Latrobe Valley Microgrid
In partnership with Ovida and Allume Energy we were successfully awarded grant funding for the $15.5 million project, Solar Partnering Around Regional Communities (SPARC) which will deliver 7.5MW of solar PV and 1.5MWh of battery storage across up to 75 microgrid sites across the Latrobe Valley.
Solar for Apartments
With over 40% of people in Moreland living in medium or high-density dwellings, Council asked Australian Energy Foundation to prove that it’s possible to provide solar for apartment buildings.
Solar for Renters
30% of Moreland residents are renting, so typically don’t have access to solar PV. Council asked us to deliver a pilot program to assist tenants in Moreland and their landlords to work together to get solar for their homes.
