Energy and transmission can be complicated. Searching for information can take time. The new Understanding Australian Energy Transmission Projects Resource Hub, led by The Energy Charter, plugs that gap by compiling resources on common queries relating to energy transmission projects in Australia.
Community Power Agency is thrilled to have been able to contribute and we’re grateful to all the brilliant collaborators that helped to make this resource hub so great.
The Resource Hub has been created to help landholders and community members learn more about the lifecycle of energy transmission projects and to find out how they can play an active role in decision-making processes for these projects.
Access a range of factsheets on the Resource Hub to learn more about:
- Community engagement in decision-making
- Overhead and underground technologies explained
- Transmission and agriculture
- Transmission and bushfire
- Social and environmental considerations
- Respecting First Nations’ culture and heritage
The community factsheets and resources were created in collaboration with us, Energy & Water Ombudsman NSW, Farm Renewables, Farmers for Climate Action, Gippsland Climate Change Network, Justice and Equity Centre and RE-Alliance, independent representatives Joy Thomas (Independent Chair Ag + Energy Roundtable) and Rod Stowe (Independent Community Advocate NSW) in consultation with the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner and supported by the Energy Charter.
