BREAZE social solar, in collaboration with disability support provider Pinarc, has received funding through the State Government's New Energy Jobs Fund to install 68kW of solar PV at four sites across Ballarat. This will mean energy savings for Pinarc, which can now dedicate more of its income to core community services for its clients, plus reduced emissions across the region, as well all more local jobs at a time of great need. Pinarc supports about 1,000 children and adults with disability, their families and carers.
L-R: Local State MP Juliana Addisson (Wendouree) joined BREAZE volunteers, Mary Debrett and Peter Reid, Pinarc CEO Marianne Hubbard, and State member for Buninyong, Michaelia Settle, to mark the announcement.
With the State Government funding the bulk of the costs of the $100,000+ project, BREAZE and Pinarc will pick up the balance making this is truly collaborative community energy project.
