The Energy Democracy Co-operatives board of the Central West NSW co-operative held a successful AGM on 6th December. Very proud to report this is Australia's second largest community-owned renewable energy co-operative. Still aiming to be the largest - its not too late to join at https://energydemocracy.net/ ! Remember, membership is open to anyone in Australia.

We're also delighted to welcome Dr Simon Wright onto the board. Simon's PhD focused on large scale sustainability transitions in renewable energy and the circular economy and the role of government in accelerating innovation cycles towards a low carbon future. We're confident he'll add a lot of value!
