"The New South Wales government has launched a new $5 million grant program
designed to support community energy groups and not-for-profit organisations to
help the state’s households get off gas, go solar and cut energy use.
The Minns Labor government’s Community Energy Activation Program will provide
grants of up to $600,000 to eligible organisations, such as Electrify 2515,
Hawkesbury Environment Network, Re-Alliance, Renew Australia and Rewiring
Australia. State energy minister Penny Sharpe says the aim of the new grants
scheme is to tap into trusted local networks that can bridge the gap for
consumers by connecting them with energy information and a range of government
programs.
“We know households want more support from trusted sources to make the switch
to smarter, more efficient energy solutions that lower household bills,” said
Sharpe in a statement last week.
“These groups help energy users in a meaningful way, often with only
volunteers, so this funding will create more opportunities for households to
get free, credible guidance to reap the benefits of renewable energy.”
Funding will support activities like community education workshops,
face-to-face sessions, adapting and delivering existing energy education
initiatives to a wider audience and development of digital tools or resources
that help consumers find energy solutions."
