Community Power Agency: New social enterprise to support community energy sector

The trailblazing Hepburn Wind farm set the bar when it comes to community-owned energy projects in Australia. And many more projects are on the drawing board. A new organisation known as the Community Power Agency was launched this week to support Australia’s rapidly developing community-energy sector. “Australia’s community-owned renewable energy sector is growing exponentially,” said Community Power Agency co-founder, Nicky Ison. “In 2009 there were three community-energy projects underway. The Community Power Agency will provide much needed sector-wide advocacy and support. “While community energy is growing quickly, and many communities are excited to establish renewable energy projects, just like any new sector they will need support if they are going to succeed.”
