Project story…

This project was funded in partnership with COREM (Community-Owned Renewable Energy Mullumbimby). COREM established their own revolving fund some years back with CORENA offering to help co-fund their earliest project if they were having difficulty raising enough funds locally, but they’ve ended up managing a whole string of projects perfectly well without outside assistance. However, our revolving fund lent their revolving fund $5,000 to assist with the COREM’s recent solar project for the Coorabell Hall.

* The MWh figure is the amount of grid electricity avoided by solar electricity generation and energy efficiency measures. The resultant reductions in carbon emissions can be visualised as an equivalent number of average households switching from grid electricity to 100% renewable electricity, noting that the subsequent projects have been avoiding grid electricity for less time than the original project.

This project has been fully funded- Thank you!
