Central Victoria Solar City

The Central Victoria Solar City, along with six other Solar Cities located in Adelaide, Alice Springs, Blacktown, Moreland, Perth and Townsville, is part of the Australian Government Solar Cities initiative which offers incentives to local residents and businesses to participate in a trial range of energy efficiency, local energy generation and demand management products and services.

Open to 2,500 households and businesses in the Central Victoria Solar City area, this initiative is helping change the way we think about, and use, energy.  Participants in the Central Victoria Solar City will trial a unique range of energy options, such as energy efficiency measures for homes and businesses, pricing trials to reward those people who use energy wisely, the use of solar technologies and community education about energy use.

The information gathered through the Solar Cities program will assist:

  • householders to better manage their energy use.
  • industry including small businesses, to test sustainable energy options in a low-risk environment.
  • electricity companies to better understand the extent of cost savings in servicing peak energy demand periods.
  • governments to develop future energy and greenhouse policy.
