Repower Shoalhaven is a community association with a strong track record in enabling businesses and other organisations to adopt solar power.
Our mission is to facilitate the development and implementation of renewable energy to deliver positive outcomes for local communities on the South Coast and SE of NSW. This includes reducing carbon emissions, creating sustainable jobs, keeping money in the local economy through savings created by lower power bills and by investment in solar and other clean energy facilities.
What We Do
Repower Shoalhaven develops community solar projects for business and individuals (community investors) to participate in. It also facilitates the uptake of rooftop solar and batteries by commercial and industrial organisations. Visit 'For Businesses' page.
In May 2013, local entrepreneur Chris Cooper had a vision of bringing the people of Shoalhaven together to create an innovative crowd funding model to enable local businesses to utilise renewable energy. It made sense, with so many businesses open during the day, but not wanting to outlay capital, that a community investment model be developed to fill this void.
Repower Shoalhaven has since helped develop over 24 commercial-scale rooftop solar projects, generating around 1 MWh of electricity per in total.
We also campaign and advocate for meeting the IPCC target of a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and plans to achieve that, including policy, regulation, programs and funding by Government.
We are currently developing a 3 MWac solar farm in partnership with Flow Power.
Anyone can join our organisation, allowing you to participate by investing in our projects, participating in our decision making, gaining valuable work experience, or volunteering your time, skills and ideas.

Join the Repower Shoalhaven Team to check out a good range of Electric vehicles and talk shop with those who have lived experience of purchasing and running electrical vehicles here in the Shoalhaven. There are so many reasons to make this choice - both for the pocket book AND the planet!
Come and get excited about how to contribute to lowering emissions and making the change to a greener planet.
Join us for an enlightening presentation and discussion between Bob Hayward of 'Repower Shoalhaven' and Liza Butler MP who has been instrumental in establishing the 'Bawley Point Microgrid'.
Both of these endeavours are moving the dial towards zero emissions and an electrified future right here in the Shoalhaven! Be inspired by the journey and lived experience of establishing both the Solar Power Farm here in the Shoalhaven and the microgrid - a great step towards 'power sovereignty' that will support isolated villages through bushfires and other natural phenomenon.
If you are interested about 'where to next' then please come along with all your questions. The wonderful 'Franks Espresso Bar' will be open for drinks and food throughout this free talk. See you there!
