Save Our Community Battery

We need your voice to show Council that the community wants the Narrabri Community Battery.

​

Can you send a quick email of support AND/OR Phone in to Council before Tuesday 15th April?

​

The Narrabri Community Battery is ready to go—paid for, designed, and on its way—but a last-minute change could delay or even derail it.

 

This battery brings real benefits:

✅Helps local excess solar to stay local 

 ✅Creates a local project fund with the profits (hoping for $10-$20k p.a.)

 ✅ Positions Narrabri as a clean energy leader

​

At the April 16th Council meeting, a motion will be put up that will cause further delays that could mean the end of the project.  We need your letter or call by Tuesday 15th April. 

​

And don’t forget to speak to any councillors as well!

Subject: I support the Narrabri Community Battery

​

Dear Interim GM, Mayor and Councillors,

I’m writing to express my strong support for the Narrabri Community Battery project.

I am writing because (choose option/s):

• I am on the Community Advisory Committee for the battery

• I have attended some of the Geni.Energy events over the last few years and have a knowledge of the project 

• I heard about the community battery

• I am a local 

• Other 

​

I believe the Councillors should not support the new motion to be put to council on 16th April causing more months of delay and effectively killing the project.

​​

This is a project that’s already funded, designed, and ready to be installed. It has approvals in place and is only waiting on the licence (rental) agreement from Council.  

​

This project is a nation leader, brings federal investment to the region and will create local benefits.  

​

For me, I particularly like this about the project (choose option/s):

• It has already had years of work gone into the planning and approvals

• It is already funded and designed and ready to be installed 

• It showcases artworks, adding to the creative feel of the town

• It helps store our excess solar local and provide it back at night to the grid

• It supports the grid and helps us put more solar on rooftops over time

• It creates a local fund for other community renewable projects

• It is a locally run project that helps us understand the electricity market and grid

• It is owned and operated by a local non-profit 

• It has been designed and built to the highest standards

• It puts Narrabri on the map as a nation leader and innovator

• It brings federal funds into the community 

• other

 

I urge the Council to back the battery and help keep the project on track.

​

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
[Optional: Your street or area]
