Blacktown City Mayor, Tony Bleasdale OAM with The Honourable Penny Sharpe, MLC, NSW Minister for Climate Change, Energy and the Environment alongside Endeavour Energy CEO Guy Chalkley, launched Western Sydney’s first community battery on land supplied by Blacktown City Council.

This is the first community battery installed in Blacktown City, and Council is enthusiastic at the possibility of more community batteries in our City. These batteries will help our residents reduce both their household energy costs and carbon footprint.
The battery at Bungarribee will allow residents to access lower cost, environmentally friendly, renewable solar power without the cost of installing a battery or solar system. Supporting the Bungarribee Community Battery is a commitment by Council to reducing emissions and creating a sustainable future.

“Blacktown City Council strongly supports the use of community batteries. This is the first community battery installed in Blacktown City and I am delighted that it will support our residents in reducing their household energy costs and their household carbon footprint,” said Mayor Bleasdale.

Council enthusiastically welcomes more community batteries across our City. The battery at Bungarribee will allow residents to access lower cost, environmentally friendly, renewable solar power without the cost of installing a battery or solar system,” said Mayor Bleasdale.
