Solar panels arrive at Yackandandah | Image: TRY<\/p><\/div>\n

Excitement is building in the small town of Yackandandah in northeast Victoria as it moves towards a fossil fuel-free energy future.<\/p>\n

Totally Renewable Yackandandah (TRY) was formed in 2014 and aims to achieve \u201cenergy sovereignty\u201d for the town by 2022 through 100% renewables. The group has been working with the community to improve energy efficiency and install solar and storage systems.<\/p>\n

Part of the 100% renewables goal is to develop one of Australia\u2019s first commercially operated mini grids, which will enable residents to share electricity with each other.<\/p>\n

TRY has also set up a Perpetual Energy Fund (PEF) that raises funds from donations to be reinvested in related projects around the town.<\/p>\n

TRY has been making solid progress and late last month 550 kilowatts of solar panels arrived, ready for the first Yackandandah ‘bulk-buy installs’ scheduled to start this month.<\/p>\n

Another important part of the project is energy monitoring. A device designed by AusNet subsidiary Mondo Power, the “Ubi”, is about to be installed in participating premises.<\/p>\n

\"Ubi

Ubi: the “smarts” that will manage the Yackandandah mini-grid says TRY<\/p><\/div>\n

Ubi monitors solar energy system performance, but also sends alerts\u00a0with personalised feedback, such as when the solar panels need cleaning<\/a> and when it may be time to consider acquiring solar batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis device is part of the way of creating a smart grid \u2026 It really adds understanding and control to AusNet at a micro level,\u201d said<\/a> TRY\u00a0co-chair\u00a0Matthew Charles-Jones. \u201cIt\u2019s really quite an exciting step forward.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other related news from the area, North East Water has shown off its new solar power system installed at the water treatment plant in Yackandandah.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

“This is our amazing new 40 kW solar panel array soaking up the sun in #Yackandandah. It’ll help power the town’s water treatment plant in conjunction with a new battery storage system,” said<\/a> North East Water. “It’s a joint project with the Intelligent Water Network and supports Totally Renewable Yackandandah\u2019s push to take the town off grid by 2022.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a news item from March, North East Water stated<\/a> the solar panel array will be paired with 40kW of battery storage.<\/p>\n

According to information from Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator, 267 small-scale solar power systems<\/a> were installed in Yackandandah’s postcode (3749) as at August 1, representing just over 1MW of collective capacity. No doubt those figures will see a significant boost in the months ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
