06 | Community Power

Traditionally Australia's electricity system has been dirty, and heavily centred around coal communities. But there's a shift happening. 

Towns around the country – from Yackandandah, to Shackleton, to Marlinja – are using renewables to take control of their energy.

The benefits are flowing back into local communities, and remote places are finally getting reliable power.
