A great example of what community ownership can achieve 👏🏻

The Old Beechworth Gaol is not only an important part of our region’s history, it’s also a thriving community precinct, social enterprise and home to community-owned solar and battery infrastructure (BEECH01 😉).

We’re proud to play a part in a place that brings together local history, community action and a locally powered energy future.

That’s what a really good energy company does! 😁😁

Last week, Fran, Dena and Heath welcomed Alex and Campbell from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to Wodonga to tour the Cricket Albury Wodonga Indoor High Performance Hub and the Baranduda battery site; two projects funded through the Victorian Government’s 100 Neighbourhood Batteries Program.

While both batteries support greater renewable energy sharing through the Wodonga Community Energy Hub, they operate in different ways.

🔋 At Cricket Albury Wodonga, the battery is connected behind the meter. It supports the Hub’s onsite electricity use, helps reduce electricity costs and can provide backup power during an outage.

☀️ At Baranduda, the battery is connected directly to the grid. It acts as a “solar soak”, storing excess renewable energy when it is abundant and making it available when it is needed.

It was a valuable opportunity to share what we are learning from these two systems and discuss how neighbourhood batteries can support stronger local energy systems and communities.

Thanks to Alex and Campbell for making the trip!

The Beechworth Community Battery project was featured by Pixii ⚡

This project is a great example of what community energy can deliver: improving local resilience, supporting renewable energy sharing, and creating more flexible regional energy systems.

Located at the historic Old Beechworth Gaol, the battery combines backup power, solar integration, and market participation in one smart system. And it’s just the beginning, with seven community batteries being rolled out across regional Victoria and Southern New South Wales.

What a time to be driving projects that help regional communities play an active role in Australia’s energy transition 🔋🇦🇺

Victorian community energy company Indigo Power has commissioned its first community battery at the Old Beechworth Gaol – a 119 kW / 336 kWh Pixii PowerShaper system that provides backup power, increases solar self-consumption, and shares locally generated energy with retail customers across the r...

Community batteries are already making a difference. And now we’ve got the data to prove it.

As Indigo Power’s community battery fleet grows from one battery in Yackandandah to seven across the region, we’re starting to see what community energy can really deliver in practice.

In his latest blog, Ben shares early operating data from two Wodonga community batteries: showing how they’re soaking up excess solar, supporting the evening peak, and helping nearly double the amount of locally shared energy in just one week.

It’s an exciting early look at how community-owned energy infrastructure can support local customers, strengthen local renewable energy sharing, and help manage energy costs over time.

We’re proud to be partnering with Euroa Energy and Taungurung Land & Waters Council to help strengthen energy reliability in Euroa.

This project is about more than energy, it’s about local collaboration and delivering long-term benefits for the community, by the community.

Congratulations to all seven groups selected for the Community Power Agency's Community Energy Incubator.

We're so excited for what’s ahead⚡🌿

And this is why we do what we do.

Projects like MYRT01 aren’t just about energy, they’re about people, resilience, and backing communities when it matters most. From powering a bushfire place of last resort to freeing up resources for local sport, it’s impact you can see and feel ☀️💪🏼
