About Renewable Energy Benalla

 Renewable Energy  Benalla (REB) is an action group of Benalla Sustainable Future Group (BSFG).   It comprises self-nominated interested members of the community who attended the Benalla Renewable Energy Future Forum in October 2016.

Renewable Energy Benalla is working in  collaboration with the community and relevant organisations to achieve the following objectives:
  • Promote energy efficiency and reduce energy use within the community
  • Create awareness, promotion and support for renewable energy by the community
  • Develop a Future Energy Plan for Benalla to transition to zero net energy
  • Achieve a significant increase in local renewable energy generation
  • Keep increased financial benefits locally

As well as these major objectives Renewable Energy Benalla has developed Action Plans which identify key tasks to be achieved and the members who are to undertake the tasks.

The Renewable Energy Action Group makes regular reports to the community.

Beyond Zero Emissions Support

Benalla was selected  as one of the three Victorian communities to be part of the Beyond Zero Emissions Zero Carbon  Communities Project.  Beyond Zero Emissions supported Benalla to develop a 10 year 100% Renewable Stationary Energy Transition Strategy in the energy use and building sectors.   Key steps for REB identified on page 10 of the report have shaped the themes pursued  by Renewable Energy Benalla and on this website - ie:

​Transition Strategy Purpose

The purpose of transition planning is to layout the tasks and activities that need to take place to achieve the objective of Benalla becoming a zero net energy town in relation to stationary energy.

Purpose:
• Demonstrate a transition to 100% renewables in Benalla is possible and affordable.
• Communicate current emissions and steps to reduce them to zero in ten year timeframe.


Beyond Zero Emissions contributed by
  • Developing a baseline of emissions across energy consumption and buildings
  • Running two community engagement workshops, one of which will focus on businesses
  • Producing reports for potential for renewable technologies in the region.​
