As well as these projects, the CPH Loddon Mallee is working alongside Bendigo Community Health Services to identify and fundraise for 15 low-income homes suitable for rooftop solar installations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve launched that project and we\u2019ll be installing three-kilowatt systems on 15 homes, we\u2019re getting the funding for that so the homes don\u2019t have to pay anything but they get the benefit of generating their own electricity and saving money that,\u201d Mr O\u2019Laughlin said.<\/p>\n
The CPH Loddon Mallee is an expansion of CPH Bendigo, responsible for many projects across the region, including installing solar panels at Discovery Science and Technology Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some groups that are more advanced than others, but the region has so much potential for renewable energy.<\/p>\n
