🔋 More clean energy and greater energy resilience for Benalla!

Work is underway at Waminda Community House, where Indigo Power is installing an 8 kW solar system and 16 kWh battery.

Indigo Power Project Manager Heath Shakespeare recently joined Waminda Community House Manager Leanne Bullard on site as installation got underway.

The system will provide backup electricity during grid outages and help reduce Waminda's ongoing electricity costs.

For a community organisation delivering important local programs and services, those savings mean more money can go towards supporting the Benalla community.

Funded through AusNet's Energy Resilience Community Fund, the project is a great example of how clean energy infrastructure can make a practical difference for community organisations/

Nine council community facilities. 1.4 MWh of battery storage 🔋

New solar and battery systems are now installed across nine regional Victorian community facilities through the Powering Resilience in the Regions project.

From Bright and Benalla to Ballarat and Gippsland, the systems have been designed to help community facilities maintain access to power during grid outages.

Some incorporate new solar. Others integrate existing solar. Every site has been designed around the needs of the facility it serves.

Indigo Power is delivering the systems with the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance and participating councils.

We’ve added wind power to the renewable energy portfolio supporting Indigo Power retail!

Indigo Power has signed a Power Purchase Agreement with Hepburn Energy to purchase a share of the electricity exported from its community-owned wind farm and battery at Leonards Hill in central Victoria.

The agreement brings together two community energy organisations with a shared belief that communities should have a real stake in the energy transition.

For us, it also adds something important to the mix behind our retail business. Alongside our customers’ rooftop solar and our growing fleet of community batteries, we now have access to electricity from Hepburn Energy’s two wind turbines, Gale and Gusto, and its 5 MWh community battery, Bessie.

That mix of solar, wind and battery storage gives us a more diverse renewable energy portfolio and more tools to manage our exposure to the wholesale electricity market and support competitive retail pricing.

It’s another step towards connecting Indigo Power with real renewable generation and storage in the communities we serve.

Benalla Library’s new community battery is installed and commissioned!

It’s one of six systems commissioned so far through Powering Resilience in the Regions, with installation and commissioning continuing at other sites.

Indigo Power is delivering the project across 11 council-owned community facilities. The systems combine solar and battery storage to provide backup power during outages, helping communities access power and communications when they need them.

Led by the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance, the project brings together 10 councils and is supported by the Victorian Government’s 100 Neighbourhood Batteries program.

Charging the car. Heating the hot water. Running the pool pump. Could the timing work harder for you? ☀️

If you already use plenty of electricity during the day, or can shift some of these tasks, Indigo Power’s Energy Shapers plan could suit your household.

Residential customers with a smart meter receive a daytime electricity rebate all year round, with no cap on how much eligible usage receives the rebate. In Victoria, the rebate window is 11am–4pm. In NSW, times vary by network.

👉 Read our Energy Shapers update to see how it works: https://indigopower.com.au/energy-shapers-update-better-daytime-pricing-and-year-round-business-rebates/

The right plan for you depends on your tariff and when you use electricity.

A community battery should do more than store energy. It should solve a real problem for the community it serves.

That’s what BEECH01 was designed to do, supporting local renewable energy sharing while also strengthening energy resilience at a site that can play an important role for the Beechworth community during extended outages.

We’re proud to see BEECH01 named a finalist in the Energy category of the 2026 Tidy Towns and Cities Sustainability Awards by Keep Australia Beautiful VIC.

Projects like this show what’s possible when energy infrastructure is designed around the needs of a place and its people ☀️🔋

An 89kW battery bolted onto the Old Beechworth Gaol is about to do double duty: cutting emissions and keeping the lights on when the grid can't.

Indigo Power's BEECH01, part of the ARENA-funded Community Batteries for Resilience Project, pairs a 339kWh battery with new rooftop solar (installed on internal-facing roof sections to protect the heritage site's appearance) to store local solar generation and share it with participating households through the Beechworth Community Energy Hub. In a bushfire-prone region where the Gaol can serve as a relief centre, that stored power isn't just a bill saver. It's a backup plan for the town.

Modelling puts the numbers at 99.32 MWh of clean energy supplied to the site each year, 38.2 MWh shared with the community, and 54.39 tonnes of CO2-e avoided annually. During extended outages, critical circuits get priority while onsite solar keeps recharging the battery.

Indigo Power's key lesson from Beechworth and its earlier Yackandandah project: community batteries only work if they solve a real local problem, not just showcase new tech. Here, that meant designing around heritage constraints, existing solar infrastructure and a genuine emergency-resilience need, not just picking the easiest site.

The X-factor is what the Gaol becomes because of it: heritage, renewable energy and disaster resilience, doing their jobs in the same building.

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! 😁😁
