​Hello to friends of Renewable Energy Benalla,

I have previously sent you information about Indigo Power, our local community energy provider.
Some of you may have watched one of the webinars about the launch of Community Energy Hubs and Indigo Power a couple of weeks ago.

If you would like to watch the video of the webinar you can do that here.

Indigo Power is asking people to compare their rates with their current energy retailer. I did that and I was agreeably surprised to find that Indigo Power rates were very competitive.
​
I have attached a brochure about Indigo Power and the Benalla Community Hub and have copied below further information about joining Indigo Power.

Join the  Benalla Community Energy Hub 

Electricity generation is the largest driver of climate change and bills take over $160 million out of our region each year. Together we can change that.

We employ local people and will invest half of any profits in renewable energy projects in our communities.
 
So every time you pay your bill, you’ll be making a difference.
 
As a customer, you’ll be connected to your community energy hub where you can keep track of the energy generated and shared between you and your neighbours. We’re also building local clean energy generation and storage for extra supply.

While electric systems are the cheapest to buy they are the most expensive to run and are the largest source of climate pollution for most households. Across our region, water heating can be upwards of a third of a household's energy bill. If you’ve got an inefficient hot water system it’s costing you money, and it’s costing the environment. 
 
ENERGY EFFICIENT HOT WATER SYSTEMS
​
REGIONAL BULK BUY OFFER

Renewable Energy Benalla is partnering with Indigo Power (Community Energy Retailer) to offer two best price energy efficient hot water systems in Benalla.
 
The two systems being offered are a Reclaim Energy 315 litre CO2 Heat Pump system or an Apricus 315 litre Evacuated Tubes Solar system.
 
Both of these systems are up to five times more efficient than electric element hot water tanks and will reduce your carbon emissions by up to 80%, as well as significantly reducing your energy bills.
 
This is part of a regional bulk buy that is being offered through many renewable energy groups across all of north east Victoria and thus has the benefit of cheaper prices for these products
 
The Victorian government is encouraging people to replace their electric hot water systems with solar hot water or heat pump systems by making a rebate of $1000 available.
 
By taking advantage of this bulk buy offer you will be able to replace your aging electric hot water system with an energy efficient system at a significantly reduced price.
 
Because this is a ‘one off ‘ bulk buy, with the suppliers offering significant  discounts (approximately 20%) it  is only open for a few weeks and  this offer will close by Christmas.
 
More details are available on the flyer below  including how to register your interest.
