\"bawley<\/p>\n

The NSW south coast towns of Bawley Point and Kioloa will soon be running a solar PV and battery powered microgrid, designed to give them a more resilient power supply.<\/p>\n

The microgrid comprises rooftop solar, home-based batteries, and a 3MW grid-connected battery, strategically positioned between the two communities. The configuration empowers the microgrid to operate autonomously during outages, forming an island of power for the community.<\/p>\n

Endeavour Energy, which announced the microgrid in a media release<\/a>, said it\u2019s the first community microgrid of its type in NSW.<\/p>\n

Bawley Point<\/a> and Kioloa<\/a> are around 250km south of Sydney and are quite remote: their nearest town is Termeil<\/a>, and they\u2019re several kilometres east of the Princes Highway.<\/p>\n

That puts them at the edge of Endeavour\u2019s network \u2013 making them vulnerable to power supply disruptions.<\/p>\n

The microgrid covers around 100 homes, which have received subsidised solar panels<\/a> and\/or solar batteries<\/a> installed by installer Sunny Afternoons<\/a>, in a project Endeavour said will provide \u201ca reliable, stand-alone, and renewable electricity supply while reducing the number of power outages\u201d caused by events like storms and bushfires.<\/p>\n

Should an outage occur, the two towns will power themselves independently of the grid.<\/p>\n

The $8 million project, due to be fully operational by the end of the year, received funding from the Commonwealth and NSW via their Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, along with Endeavour Energy and residents.<\/p>\n

Endeavour Energy CEO Guy Chalkley said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes this microgrid the first of its kind is the customer centric and integrated approach to planning \u2013 we can call upon a customer\u2019s energy resources such as rooftop solar and batteries to add resilience to the network and the community\u2019s power supply.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have co-designed this innovative solution in partnership with the local community and are pleased that it will serve as a blueprint for other communities, empowering them to embrace renewable energy and attain self-sufficiency during times of crisis.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

South Coast state member Liza Butler, also chair of the Community Microgrid committee, said the project had taken three years of work between the energy provider and the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with other villages across the South Coast to bring more microgrids online,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Endeavour says it is investigating other possible microgrid locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
