SUMMARY:Interested in a Community Battery for Port Phillip?
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n\n\nThis event is for anyone interested in the idea of a community battery in Port Phillip. \nThe Port Phillip Emergency Climate Action Network (PECAN) is actively working with the Metro Community Power Hub (MCPH) to assess interest in establishing a community battery in Port Phillip. \nPECAN conducted a webinar in 2021 which identified significant community support for a community battery locally. \nThe MCPH is a one-stop shop working with communities to develop\, support & delivery local\, cost-effective clean energy projects. The Hub is being funded by Sustainability Victoria on behalf of the Victorian Government through the Community Power Hubs program and is led by the not-for-profit Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF). \nYEF is leading the Yarra Community Battery Project in North Fitzroy and YEF’s Chief Operating Officer Tim Shue will be speaking at our event\, along with Deb Sykes from PECAN. \nA community battery (also known as a neighbourhood battery) is a locally-based shared battery. It is typically the size of a 4WD vehicle\, and provides around 500kWH of storage that can support up to 250 local households. A community battery could facilitate the reduction of community greenhouse gas emissions\, resulting in better health outcomes\, greater community wellbeing and also contribute to reducing Melbourne’s overall emissions. \nSolar households would feed into the battery during the day and all participating residents can draw from the stored energy at night. A community battery would allow households that can’t install solar – like apartment owners and renters – to draw from the stored renewable energy from local solar panels. Any excess electricity stored in a community battery above local community needs can be sold into the grid when it is needed most putting further downward pressure on electricity bills. \nIncreasing battery storage could: \n● Cut power bills for households – by taking advantage of inexpensive and renewable solar energy that can be stored and used at peak times; \n● Cut emissions – by increasing the total use of renewable energy; \n● Reduce pressure on the grid – by reducing community reliance on the grid at peak times when the sun isn’t shining. \nCommunity batteries make renewable energy more accessible to individual households. They also store and distribute electricity more efficiently\, by allowing excess solar power to be shared. \n\nClick here to join the webinar

SUMMARY:Hume Solar Rollout Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\nAll the information you need to help you get solar installed at your home and take advantage of Victorian Government rebates.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nHume Council has partnered with the Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF) and accredited solar provider Green Home Green Planet to make it even easier for Hume residents to take advantage of Victorian Government rebates of up to $1\,400 and no-interest loans of the same amount for eligible households. \nRegister for this free information session to help get you started with all the pointers you need to get solar installed at your home. \nGenerating your own renewable energy from solar panels can save a typical household up to $890 a year on electricity bills and reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. To find out more about the Hume household solar rollout program and to get a free\, no-obligation quote please visit the website: \nhttps://humesolarprogram.org.au/ or call YEF on (03) 7037 6040

SUMMARY:Australian Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Read more \nYEF’s Chris Wallin will be presenting at the conference on Lessons from a community battery project\, based on experiences from YEF’s community battery pilot project in Fitzroy North\, Victoria. \nAbout the conference \nThe Australian Energy & Battery Storage Conference will focus on the latest development of large-scale batteries\, pumped hydro projects & community batteries. The rapidly changing environment and technological advancements push forward the future goal of a successful 100% renewable energy transition. The surge in transmission investments also continues to ensure the opportunity to effectively improve long-term energy reliability. This exciting event allows the opportunity for greater transparency and effective collaboration across the sector. \nTopics will include: \n\nPolicy – new proposed changes to the electricity grid (NEM) and the impact new energy storage will play (including REZ’s)\nThe latest advances in battery storage technology\nInvestment considerations for the roll-out of energy storage in the NEM\nCase studies on the construction of new large-scale batteries (and pumped hydro)\nCase studies of the actual operation of batteries in the grid\nThe transmission angle – how batteries (and pumped hydro projects) can be connected to the grid
