Cooperative Power

🏛️ Today we handed our 1,000 community pledges booklet (pictured) over to Hon Lily D'Ambrosio, Victorian Minister for Climate Action, Energy and Resources, and the State Electricity Commission in our meeting with her at Victorian Parliament House.

In our meeting, which included a delegation of representatives from CoPower member organisations, we discussed the strong community support for our cooperative's unique non-profit approach to energy ⚡ whereby the community supports one-another for the benefit of people and the planet 🌱

We shared details of the pledges which emphasized that energy should be a public good and all households supported through a fair transition to renewable energy. The meeting concluded with The Minister committing to continue to work with CoPower to further this vision 👍

A huge thank you to you, our CoPower community, for standing up for fair energy, and signing our community pledge. If you haven't yet signed, you can here:

CoPower customers Claire & Ken are rapt with their new Earthworker Energy hot water system! ☀️💧
And it’s no wonder they’re thrilled! They’re getting "free” hot water by powering their new hot water system with solar PV ☀️

Claire & Ken switched their home electricity to Cooperative Power (CoPower), a non-profit cooperative, because they were sick of big multi-national power companies.

As CoPower members, Claire & Ken choose where energy profits go, AND like all CoPower members they're eligible for a discount on locally-made energy-efficient Earthworker hot water products.

Thanks for sharing your story Claire & Ken - it helps show the real impact of choosing community-owned, sustainable energy solutions. We’re always glad to see our customers stoked with their super efficient Earthworker Energy / Reclaim hot water heat pumps 👍

Sign up for CoPower and get your discounted Earthworker Energy hot water system today!
