Nestled at the foot of the stunning Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Richmond is also within touching distance of Sydney (65km). Indeed, it is so close that Sydney’s suburban sprawl has encroached to the very edge of this historic town and Richmond may soon be considered a major satellite suburb of Sydney.
What the proud and independent citizens of the historic town of Richmond think of being a mere suburb beggars belief!
While residents may be ambivalent about being absorbed into the outer Sydney metropolis, something that won't change for them is being blessed with the ideal amount of sun to generate solar energy. Richmond is also part of a local government area that is powering ahead with installing solar and this includes its council. Hawkesbury City Council has had 2,776 solar panels installed across 12 of its facilities - and is aiming to become a net zero emissions organisation.
Many residents and businesses in Richmond are also very familiar with the benefits that installing solar brings - including slashing electricity bills. More than 1,330 small scale solar power systems had been installed Richmond’s postcode (2753) as at the end of June 2020, representing 7.5MW of installed capacity.
