 Exciting News!!!! Repower Shoalhaven has entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Flow Power to co-develop a 3MWac solar farm for the Shoalhaven. Flow Power is a substantial electricity retailer operating in Victoria and NSW focussing on renewable energy. The goal of the arrangement is for Repower Shoalhaven and Flow Power to participate in the development of a 3MWac solar farm located on Nowra Hill Road, off BTU Road, on land leased from Shoalhaven City Council.
Most of us are frustrated by the lack of strong political leadership in addressing global warming and accelerated climate change. But there is a large amount of investment and innovation in renewables happening on a local and industry level despite the policy vacuum. In the last 12 months, the 23 community funded solar projects administered by Repower Shoalhaven have: * generated 860,000 kWh of clean electricity * reduced CO2 emission by 700 tonnes * reduced the power bills of local businesses and farms * provided investors with reasonable returns. How good is that???? Think globally act locally! 
REPOWER Shoalhaven is seeking to build a solar farm that builds on the national momentum for community-based solar power. This is a community initiative planned to supply 4 Megawatts of affordable, solar generated electricity to the Shoalhaven community on a not for profit basis. Up to 2,000 households and/or businesses could be provided with lower cost, renewable energy from the project. The site selected is, subject to the resolution of access issues, a former waste management site in South Nowra. The project aims to take a degraded, contaminated site of little intrinsic value, and turn it into a hub for renewable energy. A dedicated team is working hard to bring this project to reality. Stay up to date with the project by signing up to the email list here.
By Daniel Jones. It’s true that people can create ‘energy’. Not the kind that powers lights, but it can be felt and has an effect just the same. A day before the congress started and it was already buzzing, after settling in we heard from two Churchill Scholarship holders and at this little side event. You can only imagine what it was like the next morning; walking through the CBD of Melbourne, up the red carpet staircase of the Town Hall and into the main chamber. Here hundreds of Community Energy Congress attendees were checking in and meeting each other to the soundtrack of the cinema screen sized organ; the Indiana Jones theme was probably my favourite.  An insight into the Community Energy Congress 2017, by Jessica Burg. As a second-timer, I was curious and excited to see what this community energy congress had to offer and how other community groups had progressed since the last congress just over 2 years ago. Since our plane was delayed, we took the opportunity at the airport to chat about everything we hoped to learn or develop over the next few days; it was a great mix of legal queries, community engagement, industry challenges and more.
