Community Engagement Sessions

Community engagement snapshot

Recently we’ve held on the ground engagement sessions in Wilcannia, Bendemeer, and Bendick Murrell..

Face‑to‑face sessions gave locals the opportunity to ask questions, share what matters most and help guide how each project moves forward.

✅ What we heard

Reliable power matters

Across all locations, people told us that keeping the power on is the most important outcome — especially during outages and emergencies. Communities want systems that improve resilience when the main grid goes down.

Clear, simple information

Our customers asked for clear, early and ongoing information about how the microgrid will work, where it will be located and what it means locally.

🤝 What this means

Essential Energy will continue working with communities as the projects progress. We’ll provide updates with information presented clearly and transparently, and opportunities to stay informed as key milestones are reached.
