Battery storage offers numerous benefits to vulnerable communities by supporting energy management and building resilience. Council and the community acknowledge energy storage as a logical next step to increase community capacity for energy management given a constrained local grid network, strong solar resource and demonstrated support for renewable energy. This project presented the introductory information on this rapidly evolving technology for residents contemplating domestic energy storage. 

Outcomes:

• Development of educational battery storage material e.g Home Battery Storage Systems and Frequently Asked Questions
• Delivery of the Battery Storage Workshops/Community Engagement events
• Launch of a battery storage demonstration/pilot site located at Beechworth Library Complex.
