Rural and regional Australians know that the shift to renewable energy offers us once-in-a-generation opportunities – but to fully harness them, it’s essential that we’re at the centre of this shift. We want renewable energy to be done well, and for it to strengthen and renew our communities. That's why RE-Alliance starts with the needs of local communities, collaborates with industry to deliver social outcomes, and advocates for meaningful benefits for regional communities through government policy.
It’s important that the community is involved in the switch to renewables. We have these opportunities to control our own power, share our own power and generate our own power, and I think there are some really great opportunities for regional communities in that."
