Event – Community Energy in Bundaberg

(Includes a tour of the brewery on the Saturday!)

In partnership with Bargara BreweryEnergetic Communities is developing Bundaberg’s first Community Renewable Energy Project. We are holding both an introductory workshop on Community Owned Renewable Energy on the Friday night (at The Generator Innovation Hub) and a second workshop on the Saturday, at Bargara Brewery (including a tour of the brewery after the workshop!), to establish community solar on the roof of the brewery.

Together we can take control of our energy systems. We can decide on, build, operate and own our own renewable energy assets that power our homes, businesses and towns. Thousands of communities around the world are doing this right now.
