The Regional Solar and Community Battery Storage Program is designed to increase the uptake of renewable energy in regional and remote areas, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering energy costs for residents and businesses. By installing Solar panels and battery storage systems, communities can generate their own clean energy and store excess electricity for use when the sun isn’t shining.
The program provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of purchasing and installing Solar panels and battery storage systems. This includes grants for community groups, local governments, and businesses to help offset the initial investment in renewable energy technology. In addition to financial support, the program also offers technical assistance and guidance to help participants navigate the process of installing and maintaining Solar and battery systems.
By supporting the adoption of Solar and battery storage technology in regional and remote areas, the program aims to create more resilient and sustainable communities. Renewable energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security, and create local jobs in the clean energy sector. Ultimately, the Regional Solar and Community Battery Storage Program seeks to empower communities to take control of their energy future and transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system.
