Welcome to the Goulburn Community Energy Cooperative
STAGE TWO CIVILS STARTs
December 2024
Progress was stalled but is now back on track. There have been some hiccups with the Construction Certificate which delayed the start of the Civil stage 2 works. But all is now approved and work has resumed on the site with earthworks including sediment control, drainage, preparation for tracking to be installed, and more. Once complete early in the year work can start on installing the tracking, panels and battery.

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.
