The Australian Renewables Academy Delivering Training & Workforce for Gippsland's Renewable Energy Future

The Australian Renewables Academy is a collaboration of Gippsland Businesses working in conjunction with local stakeholders, supporting the upcoming Renewable Energy projects being delivered in Gippsland. These Gippsland Renewable Energy projects will help the Victorian government in meeting its target of 50% renewable energy by 2030 and shore up additional power supply in the event of the early closure of the coal fired power stations.

The Australian Renewables Academy is designed to:
  • Identify and promote careers in the renewable energy industry and provide a direct skills and workforce development channel for people looking to enter into the renewable energy industry
  • Develop, deliver and administer an Entry to Renewables Skills Ticket for all employees transitioning into the renewable energy industry
  • Provide advice to individual job seekers on the translation of their skills and qualifications to available jobs within the industry
  • Connect job seekers to relevant education and skills providers and direct jobs within the renewable energy sector
  • Engage schools, employment services providers, RTOs, TAFE, Universities and the community in supporting the growth and development of the renewable energy industry

Fulham Solar Farm – Construction Commencing Soon 

The Fulham Solar Farm is a proposed farm of 65 megawatts with battery storage of up to 65 megawatts per hour to be located on 400 acres of low value farmland adjacent to the north western corner of the Hopkins Road and McLarens Road intersection Fulham, within Wellington Shire. The battery storage is an essential part of the project as it assists in ensuring consistent energy supply to the electricity grid during times of low solar energy output. Both sites will connect into the existing 66KV National Energy Grid with minimal costs required for additional infrastructure.

Future Projects - The Gippsland Renewable Energy Park

The Gippsland Renewable Energy Park will be developed on a site that comprises dry marginal farming land. While the initial proposal was to utilise two sites that could accommodate 250MW of solar each, we have been able to acquire 5800 acres on one site, enabling 500MW of solar and 500MWh of batteries on the site. This will enable substantial economies of scale and reduced transmission infrastructure costs. The site will also be able to accommodate other renewable energy projects in addition to solar and batteries. The park will be developed in stages and will be community focused and technology led. The Gippsland Renewable Energy Park has received support from the Victorian Government and is also fully supported by the Wellington Shire Council.

The Gippsland Renewable Energy Park will address key concerns around climate change and will provide a viable alternative to coal fired power both in the short and long term. The total project is estimated to cost $2.6 billion and create thousands of local jobs and opportunities for local businesses. The park is being structured as a fully integrated renewable energy hub which will be able to provide dispatchable power 24/7.
