Advancing Our Energy Future

Advance Queensland, an initiative of the Queensland Government, and Regional Development Australia Ipswich & West Moreton.

Keep Your Energy Local

The energy transition is underway. The way we generate and use energy is changing.

The Regional Energy Transition Collaborative project is exploring how Energy Share Hubs can ease pressure on the energy network, save money and deliver social benefits through a coordinated effort.

The project aims to research virtual energy-sharing models in Ipswich to understand what works best for our energy future.

What Role Can You Play In The Transition?

Queensland has one of the rooftop solar panel uptakes in the world, and with that comes a lot of excess energy being generated but not used.

New technologies mean we have more options available to us, and everyone has a chance to play a part in the transition.

Join Us

We are currently seeking participants for a community-based energy sharing project.

We are investigating ways that excess energy generated by homes and businesses in our community can be shared locally.

This will help ease pressure on the energy grid, reduce costs, and deliver benefits to the local community.

Join us in a community energy share trial.

Who’s Involved?

We’re so glad you asked… the Regional Energy Transition Collaborative is excited to share the energy experts who will help develop and test our advanced energy future.
