More than two years after the fires of 2019, Mallacoota's community plan to 'build back better' is slowly coming to fruition with a number of stable and reliable solar energy projects in the pipeline.
More than two years after the fires of 2019, Mallacoota's community plan to "build back better" is slowly coming to fruition with a number of stable and reliable solar energy projects in the pipeline.
Ms Hiley formed the Mallacoota Sustainable Energy Group after modifying her own home with energy-efficient features. "If the grid was down, we were without the ability to actually do anything for ourselves — all of our solar went out when the grid was down." "What came out of that study was that we had to be able to separate Mallacoota from the rest of the grid if the rest of the grid was down, which meant something like a microgrid, our own internal energy grid," Ms Hiley says.In 2018, the Mallacoota community approached the Mallacoota Sustainable Energy Group with the idea of installing a large battery and diesel generator, which would require the creation of a default microgrid system.
