As a Council we are committed to reducing our carbon emissions and have invested in solar for our facilities and declared a Climate Emergency in 2019.
While all of this helps, we have also identified a way to assist our community to choose renewables as an alternative, further reducing the energy load as well as household budgets.
Partnering with ShineHub, we are excited to offer Charles Sturt residents the chance to be part of our 2024 Solar Bulk Buy, a community renewables program for homes.
By participating you will be able to access affordable solar and battery solutions that will save you money and be part of our long term vision to establish a local renewable energy network that powers our community sustainably into the future.
Our Council endorsed the introduction of a Community Renewables Program on 13 November 2023, following the success of City of Mitcham’s Community Renewables Program, also partnering with ShineHub,
Why get involved?
Purchase your solar and batteries through our 2024 Solar Bulk Buy program to access affordable renewables solutions for your home and save on your power bills. There are no up front costs to get involved.
The next stage will be the establishment of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), turning it into a community network.
What do I do next?
As part of the program, we will be hosting community events for residents where you’ll hear about our vision for this exciting initiative.
The solar experts from ShineHub, the exclusive bulk buy program provider, will be on hand to help you understand the benefits of going solar for your home and help you get started.
