Description

Community energy gives local towns and regions power over how they generate and consume electricity. Locally generated renewable energy will create local jobs, cleaner energy and allow the community to control where their energy comes from.

Renewable energy is changing the way we consume electricity. We are no longer reliant entirely on power from the big energy generators. As renewable energy keep getting cheaper we need to make sure communities benefit from this new form of energy. That includes initiatives that ensure everyone has access to clean energy.

Come find out how community energy can benefit Benalla and our region. Three great speakers who are leaders in this field will outline what community energy is and how we can benefit from it.

Speakers:

Simon Corbell, Victorian Renewable Energy Advocate

Nicky Ison, Co-founder of the Community Power Agency.

Alison Rowe, Chief Executive Officer of Moreland Energy Foundation.
