Welcome to the Goulburn Community Energy Cooperative

WE'RE OPEN!

March 2026

We’ve officially opened the Goulburn Community Solar Farm! On March 21st over 200 people attended our opening – and what a fantastic day it was. David Mehan MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, Melina Morrison, CEO of the Business Council of Cooperatives and Mutuals, and Andrew Bray, our chairperson and CEO of Re-Alliance, opened the solar farm by cutting the ribbon.

It was such a buzz for all who attended and a true celebration of finally jumping at the final hurdle – after 12 long years. While Essential Energy have to complete their testing over the next couple of weeks, everything else is now in place. Read more here.

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.
