Welcome to the Goulburn Community Energy Cooperative

WE'RE CONNECTED!

December  2025

The last link is finally here – connection to the grid. Contractors worked feverishly to get the connection poles and switching gear completed before the end of the year, and it’s now all done! Wires connect from the farm to the neighbouring 33 kV line running just outside the site. What a great Christmas present! All is now on target for Essential Energy to commence commissioning.

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.
