What will happen is this energy will then form part of the local production, which will include residential and other businesses as well, with whatever they're producing that goes back into the network. And solar power is used at its next point of location effectively, so whether they have solar or not. So, being able to produce their own power and share their own power locally is empowering, so it's building resilient communities and bringing people together. What this will bring to the community, it they're going to be producing more power than what they're going to be using here as well. So, it will feed into the local energy network, which we're trying to create about energy sharing locally. Where the uptake of solar, and then the bringing in of battery technology as well will enable people to produce their energy local, and share their energy local. So it's just all about that real local economy effectively, where people can participate locally and build a stronger and resilient community.

The council have been incredibly supportive of the uptake of solar and renewables, in the whole Indigo Shire and across the Northeast. We have a very, very active community energy network here, so it's really quite exciting to play a part of that. In north-east Victoria, we have a number of historical sites and it would be great to see those start to uptake solar and participate. Personally, I'm incredibly proud to play our part in this. Our staff are incredibly proud of this as well, as much as what we are, because it is part of our background and it's part of our backyard.
