Community Energy

Across Australia, communities are taking charge of their energy future. They’re banding together, building their own renewable energy systems, and showing the world what a renewable, cost-saving, and resilient energy transition looks like.

At CORENA, we know that real change starts at the grassroots level. That’s why we’re shining a light on community energy – the incredible work of everyday people who are building a cleaner, fairer energy system for all.

Community energy comes in all shapes and sizes. It’s about local community energy groups working together to install solar panels on their rooftops. It’s about locals and businesses undertaking energy efficiency initiatives, and switching their transportation to electric vehicles. It’s about communities taking control of their energy production and building a brighter future for generations to come.

Our 57th renewable energy and climate project is a community battery loan for community energy cooperative, Hepburn Energy, who operate two wind turbines.

These projects are not just about clean energy; they’re about empowering people. They’re about creating a world where everyone has a say in how their energy is generated and used. And they’re about building a more sustainable, equitable energy system that benefits all.
