Hepburn Wind is becoming a tourist destination for communities who are embarking on their own renewable energy projects.

GetUp! and SolarCitizens’ Homegrown Power Plan has been making headlines around Australia since its release in April. Which is no surprise considering one of its main findings that Australia will save money by shifting to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030.

A City of Melbourne-led consortium is advertising a call for tenders for 110 gigawatt hours of renewable energy. The initiative is a welcome act of leadership as the Victorian government prepares to release it’s long-awaited Renewable Energy Action Plan.

A new wind farm was opened in Victoria as the Andrews government prepares to release its Renewable Energy Action Plan, which will set Renewable Energy Targets for the state.

A new Friends of the Earth report has found Victoria can hit an ambitious state Renewable Energy Target of 30 percent by 2020.

In mid-March, Yes 2 Renewables coordinator Leigh Ewbank joined Dylan McConnell of the University of Melbourne’s Energy Research Institute in a site tour of the Ararat wind farm.

The community campaign for a Victorian Renewable Energy Target that has been building for more than two years is coming to a head.

In early March, Yes 2 Renewables visited Melbourne Town Hall to brief city councillors about our campaign for ambitious Victorian Renewable Energy Targets.

In March, Yes 2 Renewables jumped on the train to Brighton to meet Richard Martin, managing director of AEES Group–a renewable energy and efficiency company founded in 2014.

Voices from regional Victoria are calling for the Andrews government to back ambitious Renewable Energy Targets and protect farmland from the threat of coal exploration.
