CAP Grant / Report
CAP Grant
The Consumer Advocacy Panel awarded Council a $20k grant to undertake a study of energy across the Fleurieu Peninsula. The study undertaken by Wessex Consulting was completed in April 2012. Its findings indicate that traditional power on the Fleurieu will be increasingly expensive and unreliable. Its findings on the amount of solar power being created from rooftop solar panels (Page 30) across SA is an eye opener and clearly locks solar in for any regional power consideration. This report will be shared with all other South Australian Councils.
