Would you like to find out more about neighbourhood batteries – how they work, what benefits you could expect, and more? Clean Energy Nillumbik (CEN) is running free Zoom webinars next week where you can learn about neighbourhood batteries and have your questions answered.
Funded through the State Government's Neighbourhood Battery Initiative, CEN is also conducting a survey on neighbourhood batteries and wants to hear from residents. Community input via the survey is a critical component of CEN's work towards a neighbourhood battery.
Mayor Frances Eyre said the Neighbourhood Battery Initiative is a perfect fit for Nillumbik Shire.
"Nillumbik has a history of focusing on innovative and practical sustainability solutions, and a neighbourhood battery is an excellent step in the right direction," Cr Eyre said.
"We would encourage residents to take part in CEN's survey to share their thoughts on what they'd like to know about neighbourhood batteries, what effect they believe neighbourhood batteries should have on the community, expected cost and more."
A neighbourhood battery would sit in our local area to support the community in the use and sharing of renewable energy, and help create a more resilient electricity grid.
