Can individuals get involved?

With power use and energy sources changing globally, Victoria is with an innovative initiative to help us transition to renewable energy.

The Community Power Hubs are leading the charge, finding the most innovative solutions to power their local communities with renewable energy

The Community Power Hub has had a positive local impact, with the potential to support local businesses, unite the community and create investment opportunities for local businesses.

Communities have played a vital role in increasing renewable energy generation by establishing grassroots projects that adopt new energy technologies. Across Victoria, communities have completed projects ranging from powering primary schools, hospitals, community/neighbourhood houses and aged care centres with solar power to transitioning entire towns to 100 per cent renewable energy.

The Community Power Hubs project literally gives power back to the people. But it cannot work without your support, find out more or get involved today. Talk to your local CPH about getting involved in the development or delivery of the local community project.

Community Groups

A Community Power Hub brings together community members to initiate, develop, own, operate and/or benefit from renewable energy and energy efficiency development.

You can help this to be a great success, learn about renewable energy and even start your own renewable energy projects in your area. Call us today or come to one of our events to find out more.

Have you got an idea for a local Community Energy Project? Register your project with us.

Local Government

Local Governments are part of the Community Energy movement, they are supporters and often beneficiaries of community energy projects.

Local councils have supported CPHs to plan, initiate and develop some of the outstanding delivered projects.

If you’re looking for information on how to initiate, develop, own, operate and/or benefit from renewable energy and energy efficiency development visit the resources tab: **The Small Scale Community Solar Guide present descriptions and examples of these in practice ranging from bulk buys of Solar Hot water, PV and Storage, hosting community owned systems on council buildings, and being financial partners in larger renewable energy systems.

For more information on how to initiate, develop, own, operate and/or benefit from renewable energy and energy efficiency development visit the resources tab or contact your local Community Power Hub directly through the contact tab

Invest in Community Energy

Be part of clean energy future, driven by your local community.  Invest in solutions where benefits from renewable energy stay in your community.

If you care about the future of your community’s energy, invest your time, skills or finance in the Community Power Hub project that delivers local returns and local benefits.

This is a robust process and a great investment in your community’s future.  Successful community energy projects have engaged a new financial investor; the community investor, who may be characterised as having:

  • modest return expectations — prepared to accept a slightly lower rate of financial return than institutional investors, offset by an increased expectation of non-financial returns
  • generally modest sums to invest — notwithstanding that a significant proportion of funds came from self-managed superannuation
  • low appetite for risk
  • no appetite for capital loss
  • high levels of patience
  • a high requirement for communication
  • a high expectation of transparency. (Hepburn Wind Dec 2016)

With your support, we can make Community Power Hubs a success. Contact us today to find out how you can invest in your community’s energy future.

Each community energy project will be looking for different types of investments and contributions.  Contact the Hub to talk about the projects underway and how they line up with what you are able to contribute and invest
