Theme: “The local energy revolution: Solar plus batteries plus us”.
Friday, 25 November, 2016
The North Coast Energy Forum was established in 2010 to drive the shift to a sustainable energy system for the NSW North Coast. Every year over 100 representatives of industry, government and the community come together to plan how to make this shift happen, strengthen the regional economy; and increase our regional energy security as well as lowering greenhouse emissions.
For the fifth time since the first Forum in Bellingen in 2010, we will bring together decision-makers from government, business and the community to work on creating a sustainable energy system for our region.
This year the theme is “The local energy revolution: Solar plus batteries plus us”. Our focus is on how solar and batteries are revolutionising the energy system from a centralised to a localised model in which power returns to the people. The key questions are: How can we, in the mid North Coast, play an active part in this shift? What are the opportunities for my local community, business or organisation?
Alongside the Forum we will be holding a free battery expo with products from the main makers and local suppliers.
Coffs Harbour City Council, NSW Office for Environment & Heritage, and North Coast TAFE are the major sponsors for the 2016 Forum. In line with our tradition of holding the forum in a different part of the north coast each year, this year’s event will be held in Coffs Harbour, at the Coffs Harbour Showground.
