The consultant undertaking the analysis of opportunities for additional Distributed renewable Energy Resources (solar, batteries) at Sandy Point has drafted their preliminary report. The study examined electrical power data at both an individual property and aggregated feeder-line basis to draw conclusions about the potential for community-sized battery storage and a micro-grid for Sandy Point.

The analysis revealed some very interesting findings, for example that the reliability of our power supply line is one of the worst in the state. Also, that during sunny days and outside of school holidays times, our solar feed-in exceeds the consumption needs of the town so power actually flows back up the supply line away from Sandy Point, creating a voltage control headache for the network operator.

The report will make recommendations about the economics of solar and battery installation at properties in Sandy Point that are permanently occupied, weekenders, and holiday homes.

We will be holding a community meeting to present the findings and give you the opportunity to ask questions. Please come along and pass the word.
