2030Yea Community Energy, together with the Yea Wetland Discovery Centre Inc held an information evening for Yea residents - 'A renewable future for Yea'. Our two speakers, Dr Lasantha Meegahapola and William Ertler, gave simple and engaging explanations of three very technical apsects of a renewable future: microgrids, battery storage and load-shifting.
If we could shift demand for electrical power to align with solar power production, this would allow more solar to be used ... and demand less from the grid. This is often referred to as solar soak or load-shifting.
Last year, 2030Yea established a partnership with Indigo Power and RMIT School of Engineering to develop a business plan for a neighbourhood battery in Yea.
The purpose of this community information meeting is to provide an update on the business plan for the delivery of a neighbourhood battery in Yea.
Large scale renewable energy projects, including the proposed Seymour Wind Farm, cannot deliver enough power through existing transmission infrastructure. To keep the lights on, we need to build more transmission lines.
The Victorian State government recently listed the successful submissions for funding for a neighbourhood battery initiative – and Yea was on the list!
It is one minute to midnight and time is ticking. We need to get behind reputable renewable energy projects that support the transition to a clean energy future.
Tilting at windmills - With a focus on renewable energy from wind, Fera Australia is looking to develop large scale wind farms across the country.
2030Yea, with Indigo Power, RMIT University and Murrindindi Shire seeks a slice of the State Government's $42 million Neighbourhood Battery Initiative pie.
