RE-Alliance is working with Farmers for Climate Action and the Australian National University (ANU) to understand the barriers to electrification for farming and other small regional and rural businesses – and we want to hear from you. 

Join one of our workshops to hear the latest on current electrification options for rural and regional farms and other businesses, with local examples and tips from an expert in the field on considerations for your own business. 

The event will start with an online presentation by Andrew Chamberlin, who has 20 years experience delivering projects in sustainability and renewable energy, as well as managing an energy efficiency program for the Queensland Farmers’ Federation. After a chance for some Q&A, we’ll move into smaller groups so you can share your experiences on any barriers that you have experienced or think will arise from adopting electrification and renewable energy. We will use the information you provide to help to identify solutions and advocate for these solutions to be implemented. 

This workshop will be held in Longreach QLD on Thursday 3 September 2026, 9am-12pm, with a light lunch after the workshop. RSVP to receive location details.

Our partner Farmers for Climate Action is also running workshops in Shepparton (1 September 2026), Albury (2 September 2026) and Corryong (3 September 2026). You can RSVP for those workshops here, or RSVP for an online workshop here (8 September 2026).
