OUR VISION 'For Benalla to become a zero net energy town by 2028 by reducing and balancing energy demand with 100% renewable energy supply '
OUR GOALS REDUCE 1/3 energy used REPLACE 1/3 energy used with local renewables SHIFT 1/3 energy used to utility scale renewables
Reduce 1/3 energy used by building & energy efficiency
REB is keen to build energy efficiency for homes and businesses. TRY Yackandandah has introduced an Energy Coaching Service to do this - TRY volunteers visit homes to consider building efficiency looking at increasing comfort, reducing energy costs and reducing carbon emissions.
REB is working towards a 'behind the metre' community solar installation in Benalla which will feature 'Tier 1' solar panels.
Switch 1/3 energy used to utility scale renewables
REB is sharing information about utility scale project alternatives which generate or distribute clean energy, such as the nature and benefits of Virtual Power Plants.
