The regional Victorian city of Warrnambool, situated on the state’s picturesque south west coast has a colourful history. First settled by a number of aboriginal tribes (the name Warrnambool refers to an indigenous name for a local volcanic cone), the city has seen changes upon changes during its proud history.
In keeping with the city’s entrepreneurial past, Warrnambool City Council has fostered the uptake of solar power and installed solar panels on several Council buildings. Additionally, dozens of lights, incorporating a solar panel and lithium-ion battery, were installed in five East Warrnambool parks as part of a $210,000 upgrade in 2017. Council also facilitated a successful solar bulk buy program that resulted in the installation of solar panels on 145 homes. This certainly helped kick things into gear in Warrnambool, increasing awareness among residents of the emissions reduction and electricity bill-busting attributes of installing PV.
As at mid-2020, close to 2,000 small commercial and home solar power systems had been installed across Warrnambool’s postcode (3280), with a collective capacity of just under 10 megawatts.
