11. Greenbushes CRC, WA

Quick Win project No. 11: Greenbushes Community Resource Centre, WA

Greenbushes CRC provides Centrelink and Veteran Affairs services, Broadband for Seniors, IT services and training, Heath & wellness facilities, library facilities, Free Westlink broadcasts, Trans WA & South West Coach bookings, and Shire facilities for payments and bookings. They have a large training room for hire and use by community members, and offer school holiday programs, after school use of computers for homework, and study and general business services to the local and surrounding communities.

See what has been achieved via the CORENA loan to Greenbushes CRC so far

Note: The ‘At subsequent projects’ figures should be a bit higher than shown below. This is because we temporarily used some Big Win funds to help fund some of our early Quick Win projects, and when we later repaid that amount to the Big Win fund we used a very large repayment from Greenbushes ($8,943) to help pay that back. That money is now achieving reductions in carbon emissions via the Big Win landlord-tenant solar scheme, but that benefit is not reflected in the table shown below.

As of 24/06/19, the loan to Greenbushes CRC has achieved:

Project 11 kW (solar &/or
EE equivalent)		 MWh to date
generated/avoided		 Approx* CO2
avoided to date		 Dollar value
of achievement
At Greenbushes CRC 5.00 kW 23.44 MWh 23.44 t $9,990
At subsequent projects 0.49 kW 1.69 MWh 1.69 t $480
Total 5.49 kW 25.13 MWh 25.13 t $10,470

Switch on date: 03/06/16.
Number of days in operation: 1116.

* Since the amount of CO2 avoided is highly dependent on the fuel source used for local grid electricity, and since each CORENA project is in a different location, we have used 1MWh = 1 tonne as a rough approximation across all projects.

This project is now fully funded – Thank you!
