The Cities Power Partnership brought some of our member councils together for a South Australian Renewables Road Trip.

During the trip, our participants had the opportunity to see the energy transformation underway in South Australia and be inspired by tangible action as we visited large-scale renewable projects in and around Port Augusta, South Australia.

They also had access to learn from world-class climate and energy experts who shared their extensive knowledge to arm them with the ability to implement similar projects in their own areas.

Tour Highlights:

• Discovered the transition to clean, affordable and reliable renewable energy and storage technology underway across Australia;
• Experienced exclusive access to some of the nation’s most impressive large-scale wind and energy storage sites in and around Port Augusta, South Australia;
• Met inspiring people, businesses and special guests responsible for driving the uptake of large-scale wind, solar and battery storage technologies;
• Were guided by the Climate Council’s exclusive climate and energy experts ready to share their experience and insights into the sector;
• Learned about the energy sector’s role in slashing the nation’s rising greenhouse gas pollution levels and how you can support climate solutions;
• Shared the journey with council delegates from across Australia, each working to tackle climate change through local initiatives thanks to the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership (CPP) program.
