Renewable Energy Project: Solar Panels, Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta
Lockington Community Care Committee own and manage 14 low-cost units, in a highly desirable location, for retired and/or disabled residents in the small town of Lockington.
Goulburn Valley Community Energy assisted the group to install a 6.6kW solar system on each of their units and recommended CORENA to the group for a zero interest loan. For many residents, their homes are cold in winter and hot in summer because they use little electricity due to their low-income status. This project will reduce carbon emissions, reduce cost of living pressures for residents and improve comfort and health outcomes by providing lower cost electricity.
This project has been fully funded – Thank you!
