Welcome to Central Victoria Solar City – part of the Australian Government’s Solar Cities initiative which runs until mid 2013.

Central Victoria Solar City

The Central Victoria Solar City project is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, the Central Victoria Solar City Consortium and other supporting organisations.

The Central Victoria Solar City project is part of the Australian Government’s Solar Cities program that offers incentives to local residents and businesses to participate in a trial range of energy efficiency, local energy generation and demand management products and services. The project aims to discover innovative local energy solutions for you, your community and the planet.

Open to 2,500 households and businesses in the Central Victoria Solar City area, this initiative is helping change the way we think about, and use, energy.

Householders and businesses can choose from
a menu of energy efficiency services, and local generation and demand management products.

Energy Audits on hold in the short term
