RSVP: Power to Communities – Unlocking Battery Storage Opportunities

The Federal Government’s new scheme to lower the cost of small-scale batteries has already seen strong uptake by Australian households. But did you know that community facilities—like sports clubs, community centres, and churches—can also take part?

Renew Australia for All invites you to a special online webinar designed to help community organisations unlock the benefits of solar and battery storage. By cutting energy bills, facilities can free up more resources to reinvest in the people and communities you serve.

When: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 5.30pm AEST

Join partners and friends of Renew Australia for All as we explore this opportunity together. In this interactive session, you will:

  • Hear real stories of how solar and storage have helped community organisations lower costs and strengthen their mission—and why more are considering batteries.
  • Learn from experts about the key steps to take when exploring battery installation.
  • Identify and troubleshoot barriers organisations face in accessing the scheme—and discuss how it could be made easier.
  • Connect with peers who are already on the journey, share lessons learned, and build practical knowledge together.

Speakers:

  • Lex Lynch, CEO, Footy for Climate
  • Connor Price, Large Scale Utility & Manufacturing Policy & Engagement Manager, Smart Energy Council
  • Trevor Brown, Armidale Uniting Church and Electrify Armidale
  • Moderator: Sawsan Alfayadh, Campaign Manager, Renew Australia for All
