ORIGINAL POWER (2022)

How can we create sustainable power solutions for communities in remote Australia? As many communities face severe environmental threats, Original Power is building knowledge, resourcing action, and creating the connections that will galvanise change through the First Nations Clean Energy Network.

The Ngardara ‘Sun’ Borroloola Solar Homelands Project is an initiative of the Borroloola community in partnership with Original Power to repower homelands with renewable energy and support families to reconnect with Country.
