The Community Energy Activation Program is a $5 million initiative that funds community energy organisations to broaden their engagement with their local community on the energy transition; boost the uptake of existing programs and resources; and partner with the NSW Government to create a reliable and affordable clean energy future.

The initiative aims to make energy information more accessible and to build consumer confidence in adopting technologies, like solar and batteries, that will lower their energy costs, cut carbon emissions and increase energy independence. By supporting trusted local voices, it helps ensure all NSW consumers can find the information they need, as well as participate in and benefit from cleaner, more affordable energy.
