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.

If you need help and information in your electrification journey, register your interest at hepburnenergy.coop/electrify/ to stay up date with the offerings that will be coming up.

Our EV charger in Hepburn Springs is still the most popular spot, at least for the last financial year. Out of all our chargers in the Hepburn Shire for FY24, the one in Hepburn Springs had the most visits and energy used. It helped cut down a total of 40.88 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, which is 8 tonnes more than last year!

People tend to charge their cars for longer sessions here, and it’s great for both locals and visitors. Since it’s right at the newly renovated bathhouse, who wouldn’t want to hang out a little longer?

Last financial year, 19% of our EV charger usage came from locals in the Hepburn Shire.

Daylesford had 10.6% of local use.

Hepburn Springs had 23.3%.

Creswick, last year's winner, hit 26.1%.

But this year, the champ is our Trentham charger, with a fantastic 37.4% of its usage from local residents!

Even with all the tourists visiting, it's clear that our Hepburn Shire locals are making the most of this charger. It’s especially impressive considering all the issues we had getting it online over the period. Thankfully, since the repairs last July, it’s been running like a dream!
