Murrindindi Shire Council will be a key partner in an exciting new project to develop an investment-ready business case for a community battery in Marysville.
The 'Regional Greenhouse Alliance Neighbourhood Battery Investigation Project' is one of nine projects recently awarded funding from the Victorian Government's Neighbourhood Battery Initiative – Round 3.
The project, led by the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance, Goulburn Murray Climate Alliance and Gippsland Alliance for Climate Action, in partnership with Indigo Power, will develop the business case for the community battery site in Murrindindi Shire, and 17 other local government areas across regional Victoria.
Council is a member of the Goulburn Murray Climate Alliance and will play a key role in developing the business case for the project, which aligns with our strategic ambition to reduce greenhouse emissions in Murrindindi Shire to net zero by 2035.
Input and involvement from local community members and groups will be critical to help everyone understand the complexities and potential benefit of a community battery in Marysville.
