Smart Energy Communities Ivanhoe

Welcome to Ivanhoe community engagement portal for the Smart Energy Communities trial and thank you for taking part.

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

The Smart Energy Communities trial is about testing a future mode of operation of our network as the energy transition continues to pick up pace.

The trial is designed to answer three main questions:

• How to maximise the export from rooftop solar and communities into the network
• How to store that energy in our network, and
• How to deliver reliability improvements using different approaches.

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