Low-income households a priority for Coburg Solar City

A community program exploring how low-income households can become more sustainable will be a highlight of Australia’s latest Solar Cities project. In a media release, Australian Government Environment Minister Peter Garrett has announced $4.9 million in Australian Government funding for the Coburg Solar City, the 6th in the Solar Cities program. “I am particularly pleased that a key feature of the Coburg Solar City will be the development of an ‘Energy Hub’, a community enterprise providing energy retrofit services for low income and public housing tenants,” Mr Garrett said.
