Welcome to the Goulburn Community Energy Cooperative

WE'RE CONNECTED!

February 2026

Testing and commissioning by Essential Energy is progressing and almost compete. As to be expected, there were a few bugs that needed sorting out and some re-configuring was necessary, but most is now competed and we expect final paperwork to be submitted within the next couple of weeks. It’s been a long 12 years of determination and commitment from the committee and the final pieces have now been put together ready for exporting to the grid.

Battery now fully subscribed

The great news is we have raised the full amount needed to finance the larger 4.07 MWh battery! What a great achievement for a regional project. The whole project is fully paid for and owned by the cooperative.

COMMUNITY FUND

“The bottom line is this: as we get clean, we have to get fair.”
Naomi Klein.

To spread the benefits of the solar farm to those who find it hard paying for their energy, we have set up a community fund. The fund will be administered by one of the agencies in Goulburn to assist those experiencing energy poverty.

A percentage of the profits of the farm will be set aside for the Community Fund, and investors can, if they wish, commit some or all of their dividends to the fund to boost it further.
