Australian-first microgrid brings renewable energy to Melbourne apartments

More people living in rental accommodation will soon have access to cheaper, renewable energy as part of an Australian-first microgrid project led by energy solutions company Ovida.

On the 19th of December the Victorian Minister for Energy Lily D’Ambrosio launched the first site of Ovida’s $2.3 million Community Energy Hubs project – a 52-resident community housing apartment building in Preston with a solar and battery storage system making solar energy available to all residents.
