Energy Locals Sustainability Actions

Accelerating the transition to renewables

We partner with community and commercial organisations looking to do great things in the renewable energy space and provide retail services to help them achieve their goals. We support Tesla, Co-Operative Power, Indigo Power and others.

Evidence

Carbon offsetting energy usage

We proudly offset all our retail and business members usage thanks to our purchase and surrender of international carbon credits. This isn’t a long-term solution but it’s a start while we get the transition to 100% renewables moving faster.

Investing in renewables

We’re majority owned by Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners. Quinbrook manages super fund money and invests solely in renewables in Australia, the UK and the US.

Evidence

Generating power from sugarcane and wood waste

In NSW, we buy power from our sister business, Cape Byron Power, who generates power from sugarcane and wood waste that’s not sourced from State or private native forests.

Supporting the government-accredited GreenPower program

We’ve been accredited to provide GreenPower since 2017. You can choose to purchase 100%, 50% or 10% GreenPower.

Equipping sustainable energy solutions

We help equip residential, commercial, and industrial developments with solar power, electric vehicle charging stations, and battery storage.

Creating gold standard green buildings

We partner with some of Australia’s top property developers and builders, to help create gold standard ‘green buildings’. Backed by one of the world’s leading renewable energy partners, we bring innovative technology and skills to power our communities.
