Over the past few years groups across Australia have started developing
visionary plans to invest in their own clean energy future.
Hepburn Wind is Australia’s very first community owned renewable energy
company near Daylesford Victoria. It is owned by ordinary people
generates 100% renewable energy equivalent to the total electricity demand
of Daylesford and Hepburn and puts more funding back into the community (per
turbine) than any other wind farm.
But while Hepburn Wind has been an inspiration to others there are many
unfair barriers that make it hard for other communities to follow.
In 2011 the Government Greens and Independents listened to you and agreed
to create a new $10 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). For
everyone who dreams of owning and producing their own power this new body
poses a huge opportunity.
This month the expert panel of the CEFC will tell the Government what the
Corporation should invest in. Together lets convince the CEFC to use some
of its funds for community energy!
