Who should own Australia's clean energy future? That's one of the big questions at the heart of Issue 176, as we explore the growing movement towards community ownership, local decision-making and more resilient energy systems.
Our lead feature follows the journey of the Goulburn Community Solar Farm. After more than a decade of planning, fundraising and persistence, local volunteers have transformed a kitchen-table idea into one of Australia's largest community-owned solar and battery projects.
We also examine how First Nations communities are leading renewable energy developments on Country, ensuring projects deliver long-term economic, cultural and environmental benefits while reflecting local priorities.
As more Australians install rooftop solar and batteries, the electricity market is evolving too. We investigate the new generation of retailers challenging the traditional utility model through wholesale pricing and innovative energy-sharing services. We also take a closer look at Australia's rapidly expanding network of AI data centres, asking what their growing electricity demand means for communities, the grid and our path to net zero.
Beyond energy, Jean Renouf explores Australia's food security challenges and why stronger local food systems are becoming increasingly important in an uncertain climate. We visit Wavertree House in the Northern Territory to discover how climate-responsive design creates homes that work with their environment rather than against it. And we share practical advice for camping more sustainably.
Also in this issue: learn how to build a modular DIY battery system that makes home energy storage more accessible, discover the science behind turning food scraps into nutrient-rich compost, explore kerbside EV charging solutions, and much more to help you live more sustainably. Please allow up to 10-13 weeks for your first delivery.##
