Phillip Island experiences fires, storms, strong winds and power outages. With our $28,000 ERCF grant, the community installed a battery to make better use of existing solar power. During outages, locals can charge devices and access a kitchen and toilets. As an energy resilience hub, the site also supports community groups to meet and plan their local emergency response, helping essential services keep going when it matters most.

Seaspray in Gippsland faces severe floods, storms and extreme heat. With our $302,000 major grant, the Seaspray Surf Lifesaving Club installed solar panels, a battery system and a back-up generator, creating a local energy resilience hub. During prolonged outages, the hub provides heating and cooling, cooking facilities, refrigeration, device charging, toilets and showers. It’s a safe place for locals to gather, share information and support one another during emergencies.

Tecoma is highly prone to storms and power outages. With our $47,000 ERCF grant, the community installed solar panels and battery storage so they can operate off the grid when the power goes out. This upgrade now provides 24-hour food relief, refrigeration, WiFi, device charging, water and toilet access during prolonged outages, supporting locals when they need it most.

Kongwak is a small rural community with limited infrastructure and a growing weekender population. As extreme weather events (floods, fires and even a mini cyclone) become more frequent, the local public hall has never been more important. Our $95,000 major grant funded the installation of a generator at the Kongwak Public Hall, transforming it into an energy resilience centre. In an outage, the hall can run cooking facilities, heating and cooling, showers, toilets and refrigeration. It’s a safe place for locals to gather during an emergency.

Millgrove is a small community exposed to floods, fire and storms and the power outages that come with these events. Our $277,000 major grant helped the Millgrove Residents Action Group install a solar and battery system to create a local resilience hub. Located at Millwarra Primary School, the hub can be used during outages to keep classes running and provide a safe place for locals to gather, with access to toilets, showers, refrigeration and a kitchen.
