MyTown Energy is for communities who can see the need to transform their energy supply.

It is for both the newbie and the experienced in community energy. It will help you level up your knowledge and build a team around you to cover all the different aspects that a community energy project demands.

The secondary audience for this tool is those who look to help communities with their energy projects, including consultants, councils, researchers, installers, and electricity network companies.

Chris Weir from the Bendigo Sustainability Group reckons every community energy group needs a “Ninja Team”, a group who can bring skills in the following areas:

• Technical Ninja: Technically-minded and interested in technology, data, and how things work!

• Finance Ninja: Savvy with money, finance, and can help in getting things funded!

• Project Management Ninja: Organised, good attention to detail, and able to get things done and on schedule!

• Community Engagement Ninja: Great with people, marketing, and communicating your message!

Regardless of your experience or which ninja sounds most like you, we hope you find MyTown Energy helpful.

We’re thankful for your interest and welcome your support and suggestions to continue developing the way this tool helps communities in making energy work better for them!
