Farmers, retired coal workers and local government representatives have travelled to Canberra to explain why Local Energy Hubs are urgently needed in their communities.
The group briefed politicians at an event hosted by the Federal Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi MP and the Federal Member Indi, Helen Haines MP today.
Local Energy Hubs are a proposed network of outreach centres staffed by locals to assist communities navigating renewable energy and transmission projects, while helping local households, businesses and farms to lower their energy bills and electrify.
