President’s Report Apr 2024

As we continue to say, we remain precariously on track to delivery of the Alphington Community Subscriber Battery.

We are currently negotiating a lease for land with the City of Darebin Council. On the 16th April we held our first Community Advisory Panel (CAP) meeting. This meeting brought together 13 people from diverse backgrounds. The CAP is going to play an important role in helping the VP team to shape the design of the subscription model and our communications. We really appreciate the people who have volunteered their time to be part of the CAP.

BTW, if you live in Alphington, you may hear about a second community battery that is going to be installed by Jemena, the energy network distributor. It will be installed in a different place and be optimised to meet network needs.
