We have a long term friendship with artist Ghostpatrol who painted our turbines Gale and Gusto over a decade ago.

Now he has given personality to Bessie our first battery! We are thrilled with the mural.

With thanks to the Federal Government’s Community Batteries for Household Solar program for partial funding. Bessie is a 5MWh battery from and once energised will be the first wind + BESS hybrid on the distribution network in Australia. We can’t wait to showcase vintage wind turbines with new battery technology.

We’re thrilled to announce that our co-op has been re-certified as a B Corp for the second time!

B Corps are recognised for their high standards in social and environmental performance. The "B" stands for "benefit," reflecting our goal to make a positive impact.

We scored 114.9 in the assessment, well above the 80-point mark needed for certification!

What an amazing community of Hepburn Energy Co-op Members we have!!!

We’ve had a busy couple of months setting up and processing our first debenture offer after we heard an overwhelming ‘yes’ to the concept of debentures from members.

Debentures are a way for co-operatives to raise funds via a loan from members.

The offer was over subscribed and we scaled it back to the cap amount, the result is a total of 89 Member Debenture subscriptions, totalling 1095 debentures ($1,095,000).

We are so grateful to everyone who has participated in supporting Bessie financially, and we are thrilled to see so many smaller debenture holders, which really aligns with our values of equity and fairness.

Check out the post for more stats on our first debenture.

Coco, the Hepburn Energy Office Dog, recently attended the Energy Park to inspect the new developments.

Coco was very impressed with Bessie the (not yet energised) 5MWh community battery and associated infrastructure.

On Sunday, Gale and Gusto were taken off line when there was a large storm with lightning strikes on site. Powercor and Vestas are currently investigating the fault which appears to be in the underground cables. We will keep you updated.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Community Electrification Engagement Program Launch which included the book launch of Saul Griffth's new book, Plug In: The Electrification Handbook, last Wednesday.

It was a night filled with great questions and conversations. Saul gave us all hope that there are things that we can all be doing to minimise the impacts of climate change, and bonus, they also make economic sense.
