  Sustainable Neighbourhoods Lake Macquarie
We are introducing guest speakers to our meetings

Come to our May Meeting to hear from Alec Roberts from CLEANaS to talk about solar energy.

Alec Roberts
Clean Energy Association of Newcastle and Surrounds
Alec Roberts is a project manager, community renewable energy advocate and the current chair of the Clean Energy Association of Newcastle and Surrounds, otherwise known as CLEANaS.
CLEANaS is a not-for-profit association that aims to drive the uptake of renewable energy generation technologies in Newcastle and surrounds with the goal of 100% renewable energy for Newcastle.
CLEANaS members aim to do this through developing projects to provide opportunities for community funded renewable energy installations and by running events and initiatives to educate members and the public about the opportunities that exist in participating in clean energy.
 
CLEANaS originally developed the Lighthouse Toolkit, a model which made it easier for community groups to own and profit from solar installations which can generate clean energy for use by local businesses and organisations.
 
Alec will explain how CLEANaS has now developed the Lighthouse Community Energy Project, which will enable the community at large to invest in projects that they are passionate about for as little as say, one hundred dollars.

Those on lower incomes will have the opportunity to benefit financially by investing, for example, in solar panels on their local community centre.

 
You don't need to be a member of Cardiff Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group
to attend our meetings.

May Meeting
Thursday 26 May 2016, 5.30 - 7.30pm
