Zero Emissions Byron

Byron Shire had bushfires in 2019-2020, floods in 2022, extreme heatwaves and long power outages in 2024 and early 2025. These hazards have real consequences to social cohesion, human health, environment, infrastructure, and the economy. Community batteries provide energy back up and reliability during these types of natural disasters. They feed backup power from the battery to the community and to essential services, such as water and sewage treatment.
