𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆: 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 Recently ComAp Australia, with our partner GenOffGrid designed, installed, and commissioned a hybrid microgrid for a school in the Kimberly region of Western Australia. This microgrid incorporates PV panels, a battery energy storage system (BESS) and a diesel generator. It provides reliable and resilient power, whilst also being much quieter, which is beneficial for the students and their studies.

This year, we worked with the team at GenOffGrid on the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School’s solar + battery installation ☀️🔋 This project has enabled Yiramalay to self-generate a significant portion of its energy, reducing its dependence on diesel and aligning with the school’s vision to be more environmentally responsible. What a fantastic outcome for a school that's working hard to empower the lives of Indigenous children!👏 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gfRtWk8A #SmartEase #CommercialDecarbonisation #SolarProject #SolarCaseStudy

🌞 Broome International Airport will be installing three separate solar systems with a combined capacity of 660kW! The largest system will be mounted on a new steel structure within BIA’s public carpark, providing 100 shaded parking bays. The solar systems are expected to supply around 55% of BIA’s power demand and almost halve its carbon footprint. Please note the following updates during the construction phase: 🚗 Change of Traffic Flow: Effective 10th June, some areas of the carpark will be closed while works take place. 🚗 Temporary Long-Term Carpark Arrangements: All long-term parking will be located in the unsealed area to the left of the main entrance road. Please follow the signs. During this phase, the daily long-term rate is will be temporarily reduced to $12 per day. 🚗 Short-Term Parking: Access to the short-term parking area, including ACCROD bays, will remain open however with limited availability. Standard rates apply. Short-term overflow parking is available in the unsealed long-term area at the reduced fee of $12 per day, and don't forget that the first half hour is free. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to make BIA greener and more efficient. Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for supporting our commitment to sustainability.

It's well-known that First Nations businesses are more likely to train and employ Indigenous staff and channel profits back into their communities. That’s Yuin woman Melanie Harris talking, Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) Commissioner, as reported in National Indigenous Times. Melanie's conclusion is picked up in our recent report, 'Powering First Nations Jobs in Clean Energy’, where we found First Nations businesses employ higher numbers of First Nations workers with higher retention rates -- generally delivering better results. Therefore, mechanisms for increasing capacity and participation of First Nations businesses in the clean energy sector are an important pathway for increasing employment outcomes. This is not a new insight. The Productivity Commission back in 2020 identified key strategies for improving First Nations employment rates, including encouraging the growth of First Nations owned businesses and service providers. Our Jobs report notes one of the more effective policy levers already in place has been the use of procurement requirements for engaging First Nations businesses. Measures that increase demand and job commitments are important as a catalyst for change, by providing more opportunities for First Nations to participate in the economy - and with what we know, delivering more First Nations employment and training outcomes. Win-win!

A big thank you to RayGen for hosting us at its next-gen solar module manufacturing facility last week. We're really grateful the talented team took some time out to show us around and give us a sense of the innovative work taking place there. RayGen is doing impressive work integrating solar and storage into a flexible technology, which will have an important role to play in Australia's future energy mix. #cleanenergy #renewableenergy
