Residents and businesses across the Alpine Shire now have a new opportunity to embrace clean energy and reduce their power bills, thanks to the launch of the Goulburn Murray Solar Savers program.
Backed by local government and proudly supported by Alpine Shire Council, Solar Savers is a free program designed to make choosing quality solar and energy-efficient upgrades simple and stress-free.
Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, said by taking part in Solar Savers, households and businesses can cut energy costs and protect themselves from rising prices, all while contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of this fantastic program,” Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas said.
“It’s about empowering our community to take control of their energy consumption, save money, and do their part for a sustainable future.
"It's incredibly important that we support residents in making smart choices about their energy needs."
Residents and business are encouraged to undertake their own due diligence processes before making their final purchase, by obtaining their own quote/s from additional suppliers.
Solar Victoria provides a list of reputable suppliers to consider approaching for additional quotes. Individuals will still be eligible to apply for the same rebates and subsidies if they choose to pursue a quote and installation with a supplier that is not part of the Solar Savers program.
To mark the official launch, Council will host information displays at local libraries and offer drop-in sessions with staff from the Sustainability Team, who will be available to answer questions and provide guidance.
