The Australian Government has awarded funding under Round 2 of the Community Energy Upgrades Fund (CEUF) to local councils across Australia to deliver energy efficiency, electrification and emissions-reduction projects in community facilities.
The Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Hon Chris Bowen MP, announced the successful projects as part of the program.
We are excited to see more projects rolling out from this program for which A2EP advocated so strongly.
We look forward to sharing stories from these successful projects and congratulate the councils and A2EP Members involved!
