Local governments across Australia are under pressure to address community resilience and identify funding mechanisms for climate adaptation.
Nearly 100% of VIC councils and 75% of NSW councils have now entered into renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs), either alone or via group buying, to reduce their electricity costs and emissions.
Join us for this webinar hosted by the Business Renewables Centre Australia (BRC-A) featuring experienced regional organisations of councils (ROCs) and council energy buyers:
• SSROC Group PPA: Peter Vun, Program Leader Energy Management & Net Zero Strategy, Ku-ring-gai Council
• Cairns Regional Council PPA: Daniel Stronggrove, Energy Management & Sustainability Advisor
At this session we will provide insights into the following key questions:
• Could group buying help Queensland councils, including smaller councils with limited resources?
• What are the benefits and risks of moving away from their current electricity retailer to contract renewables in Queensland?
• How to weigh up the value of going renewable against BAU electricity purchasing with the CSO subsidy?
