Find out how Yeppoon residents can join communities across Australia who have taken control of their energy supplies by starting a community-owned renewable energy project.

Energetic Communities in partnership with the Community Power Agency, 350 Central Queensland and Capricorn Coast Landcare and Livingstone Shire Council, is holding an introductory workshop on Community Owned Renewable Energy on Saturday September 28th, 10.00am to 12.30pm.

Community Owned Renewable Energy (CORE) is where the community raises funds to finance a renewable energy installation, whether it’s solar, wind, biodiesel or any other renewable energy resource. The community then gets the economic benefits!
