The 2016 Beyond Zero Emissions Renewable Energy Superpower National Tour kicked off yesterday with the launch of a report on how Australia can realise its full renewable energy potential.
Frankston in Victoria boasts the first life saving club to receive solar panels under the Victorian Government’s Community Renewables Solar Grants Initiative.
According to the state’s Minister for Energy and Resources, Lily D’Ambrosio, solar power systems will be installed on most of Victoria’s 50 or so life saving clubs under the $500,000 scheme.
