DEGRUSSA MININGWESTERN AUSTRALIA
Degrussa is the largest off-grid solar battery storage project in Australia. It powers a gold and copper mine in
remote WA. Commissioned in June 2016, it provides a
solar and storage solution to the majority of the mine’s
daytime electricity requirements, offsetting up to 20% of total diesel consumption annually.
NECTAR FARMSVICTORIA
Bulgana Green Power Hub, consisting of 196 MW of wind
backed by a 20MW battery, is co-located with agri-business Nectar Farms to provide secure and affordable energy. Nectar Farms is using the latest in hydroponic glasshouse
and plant technology to create a 10 hectare state of the art
facility and over 130 local jobs.

Some of the options
we are investigating for
community benefits:
Community benefit fundThe funds would be allocated to
local community projects through a
competitive annual grants process.
The fund could be administered
either by Council or a local
organisation
Discounted electricity billsThrough a partnership with an energy
retailer, we would offer residents the opportunity for a discount on their
energy bill every year during the life
of the project.
Subsidies for solar and storage
We could provide grants through
approved installers to make rooftop solar and home battery storage more
affordable.

Possibility to invest in the wind farm
Community co-investment in renewables is common overseas and
just starting in Australia. Would you
like the opportunity to invest some of your money in this project and make
an annual return?
Support of local art and tourism
Are there any local arts or tourism
ideas that you would like to see or support?
