Sustainable Living Armidale (SLA), Electrify Armidale, and partners are excited to be bringing a new program to Armidale this year, the Armidale Community-Driven Shift to Renewable Energy and Sustainability. Thanks to the Future for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and with funding through their Community-Led Climate Solutions, we’ve secured a grant to enable us to run a series of events designed to make energy efficiency and electrification easy and accessible, and to help local communities make the most out of the renewable energy generation that is coming to the region. Working alongside our partners UNE SRI and Community Power Agency this initiative is spearheaded by Electrify Armidale for a Renewable Energy Future.
Throughout the year, a series of FREE public events will offer hands-on learning experiences empowering residents and businesses to cut energy costs, improve home efficiency, and actively engage in the clean energy transition. Covering everything from home energy upgrades and electric vehicles to battery storage and large-scale renewable projects, the program will connect the community with expert advice, financial incentives, and trusted suppliers.
The first launching event, Electrify Armidale Community Program: Home Energy Upgrades for Comfort and Every Budget, will be held on March 27th from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the UNE SRI. We would like to extend a warm invitation to your members and the Armidale and regional community to attend. This event is for anyone – be they renters, homeowners, energy professionals, business leaders or community advocates. All you need is an interest in reducing energy bills, exploring energy efficiency and improving comfort and engagement for all.
