Dear Members,
Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic has made it impossible for Energise Gloucester to hold public meetings so work on the Solar Farm project has virtually stopped for a month or so. Committee members are still working on some background issues and will be ready to move as soon as restrictions are lifted.
We have had great community response to our publicity about receiving the NSW Government grant and we were looking forward to the public launch and to get on with it.
A number of people have already indicated their interest in working on the Steering Group and we will contact you in few weeks. It would be great to hear from others who have an interest or skills to help with the project.
Six other projects were funded by the Regional Community Energy Fund:
- Byron Bay Solar Farm
- Community Energy for Goulburn
- Pingala Haystacks Solar Garden</
- Manilla Community Renewable Energy
- Orange Community Renewable Energy Park
- Enova Shared Community Battery Scheme
We are contacting these projects to share ideas with them, the Department has also indicated that all of them are experiencing delays like we are in Gloucester.
Yours with energy
David
