Community energy

From community batteries to microgrids, learn about the services we can provide to support your community energy journey.

The Australian energy system is undergoing a once-in-a-lifetime transition to achieve the federal government renewable electricity target of 82% by 2030.

Communities across our network are telling us they want to be active participants in the renewable energy transition and improve local energy resilience.

Community energy is well established on our network and we continue to support communities to achieve their renewable energy ambitions.

Many successful community energy projects have been developed – both small-scale and large-scale.

We want to help all communities develop community energy projects that directly benefit their community, customers and the network.

The information in this section explains the types of support we provide for community energy projects and how to access it.
