NSW approves 1-GW renewable energy zone; groups push for federal funding for local energy hubs to boost trust and access.
The NSW Government has approved the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone, a 1-gigawatt project linking wind and solar power from the Upper Hunter to the Central Coast, pending final regulatory approval.
As renewable energy expands in regional Australia, concerns grow over community engagement and access to reliable information.
In response, over 50 groups, including environmental organizations and regional MPs, are urging federal funding for a national network of Local Energy Hubs—community-based centers staffed by trusted locals and independent of industry.
These hubs aim to provide unbiased guidance on solar, batteries, energy savings, grants, and community projects, with a successful pilot in Narrabri demonstrating their value.
Advocates say Hubs are key to building trust, transparency, and local involvement in the clean energy transition.
