Microgrid Tibooburra

Welcome to Tibooburra microgrid engagement portal and thank you for taking part.

Your community has been chosen as part of the microgrid project, exploring options to manage power reliability better in the future.

A microgrid is emerging as a potential solution to help build a more resilient and sustainable energy future for regional, rural and remote communities. Microgrids can be islandable and operate independently from the main electricity grid during planned or unplanned outages using local energy generation and battery storage, coupled with a microgrid control system.

The project is being rolled out in stages. We will be updating this portal with the current stage information as we progress through the project. We encourage you to get involved in the discussion by asking questions, taking part in short polls, and providing honest feedback through surveys.

  • Rooftop Solar - Have Your Say

    In June earlier this year, we visited Tibooburra to talk to you about our plans to build a microgrid with battery and solar technology. As part of the works, we are currently exploring several options around the solar component, including installing some of the solar on rooftops in Tibooburra. This may unlock community benefits in the future.

    This is just an idea, and we would love to hear your feedback. This survey will take between 1 - 5 minutes to complete. Thanks for taking the time. For more information on the trial, please visit the Smart Energy Communities Tibooburra Essential Engagement site.

    Essential Energy visited your town in early September 2023. We would appreciate some feedback (even if we didn't meet you).

    We look forward to meeting you all again soon. Thankyou in advance for completing this short survey!
