Share your thoughts with AEMO

A new survey has opened up, asking select communities questions about the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and electricity transmission infrastructure.

Run by community engagement program Voconiq, the Local Voices survey has been commissioned by AEMO to “assess and monitor community attitudes to electricity transmission infrastructure development” – giving the Moorabool community a chance to express their thoughts on projects such as the Western Renewables Link (WRL).

Participation involves completing a series of surveys, with the initial Local Voices survey taking around 15 – 20 minutes. Lighter follow-up surveys taking 5 – 10 minutes will be held every six months, and you can withdraw your participation at any time.

Every time a survey is completed, community members can assign a donation to a charity active in their local area. For the first survey, a total of $10,000 in donations will be made to three charitable organisations. On completion of the survey, participants will be able to allocate tokens for these organisations. A total of $5,000 will be donated to the group with the most tokens, $3,500 to the group with the second most tokens, and $1,500 to the group with the third most tokens.

Survey responses will be used to help form AEMO’s summary reports, communication materials, research papers, and presentations.
