By Lachlan Ellis<\/p>\n

A webinar about the feasibility of a community battery in Ballan has generated a lot of positive energy, and though it is still early days, local environmentalists are feeling optimistic.<\/p>\n

Around 30 people attended the information session on Tuesday 11 January, which was hosted by the Grampians Community Power Hub (G-CPH) in collaboration with the Moorabool Environment Group (MEG).<\/p>\n

MEG Committee member Rose De la Cruz was one of the webinar\u2019s four speakers, and said the webinar was more an information session than a presentation of any plans \u2013 but the concept was promising.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who work from home like me, when your power goes out from things like storms, it\u2019s terrible, and it happens a lot here,\u201d Ms De la Cruz told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope there would also be financial benefits, in terms of lower power bills, for those using the battery. Excess electricity from solar panels on your roof could be put in the battery during the day, and then that power could be used at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said there were many models from across Australia to choose from in terms of location of a battery, who manages the battery, and who owns it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all very early stages, we\u2019re not going to get a battery tomorrow\u2026but we\u2019re going to look at other examples around the state, and around the country, over the next six months. It\u2019s a very new, but also very exciting and innovative space,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
