Energising the Community Housing Sector

Energy options for scaling up energy solutions in the WA Community Housing Sector

About this Event

CHIA WA & Shelter WA would like to invite you to a Roundtable discussion with BOOMPower and Impact Investment Group on options for scaling-up energy solutions in the WA Community Housing Sector, through the establishment of a third-party entity.

Social landlords still struggle to invest in clean energy solutions for community housing, due to the split-incentive between landlords and tenants, where landlords pay for upgrades, but tenants receive the benefits.

To overcome this issue, Shelter WA will be hosting a workshop in collaboration with the Community Housing Industry Association WA, BOOMPower Pty Ltd and Impact Investment Group. The workshop will:

1. Build on practical projects and research undertaken with community housing organisations,

2. Explore ways to share the benefits and costs of clean energy solutions with tenants (including solar PV, batteries and energy efficiency products and solutions); and

3. Seek input from the sector on the appetite and potential for scaling-up clean energy solutions in WA.

The workshop will include case studies of completed projects in this space, available charging and financing models, and seek feedback on opportunities for the WA sector to implement energy upgrades at a much larger scale than is currently possible.

The workshop will be designed to complement the WA Impact Fund launch event, which is occurring the following day - more details to come.

NB: This event will be broadcast via ZOOM on the day for regional guests. Details to follow
