Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund

Through microgrids, the Australian government has continued to encourage secure, reliable, and inexpensive power for regional and distant communities. The Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund's second round will begin in 2020, with successful projects receiving up to $25 million in awards. Projects across Australia are eligible to apply, ranging from very isolated Indigenous communities in Western Australia and the Northern Territory to rural farming communities in Victoria. The program will help fund feasibility studies to see if a microgrid or upgrading off-grid technologies will better satisfy community needs. The grants varied in value from AUD 100,000 to AUD ten million.
