Power in Partnership: A guide to developing a community stake in renewable energy explores practical ways communities can move beyond consultation and participate more directly in renewable energy projects. The Guide examines partnership approaches such as community co-investment and co-ownership that can give communities a real say in projects and a share in the benefits.
Power in Partnership draws on 18 months of research and collaboration with renewable energy developers, local and state government stakeholders, advocacy organisations and community members.
It includes 23 case studies from Australia and around the world, illustrating how community partnership models are being implemented in practice and what lessons they offer for projects in Australia. It provides practical insights for developers, policymakers and communities interested in delivering partnership models in renewable energy projects.
The Guide is structured in five parts which you can explore below.
To mark the launch of Power in Partnership, we hosted a webinar. Co-authors Dr Anna Berka and Claudia Hodge walked through the Guide and the key insights. We also heard from people working at the project and policy level who are paving the way for community partnership models to happen in practice.
