Energy efficient hot water for Aboriginal Housing Victoria

We are excited to announce that CoPower customer members have voted to allocate $10,000 to Earthworker Energy Manufacturing Cooperative’s Energy efficient hot water for Aboriginal Housing Victoria. Everyone deserves to benefit from renewable energy and energy efficiency, not just those who can afford the newest technology. The Earthworker Energy Manufacturing Cooperative manufactures premium quality solar and heat pump hot water products in the Latrobe Valley, and has donated and installed these systems for multiple social housing organisations across Victoria. This project will subsidise the installation of locally made heat pump hot water systems for Aboriginal Housing Victoria – an Aboriginal community organisation that serves to secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities. The project will ensure First Nations households benefit from energy efficiency upgrades, and enable Aboriginal Housing Victoria to improve and electrify social housing stock – helping to reduce power bills and pollution, while supporting local manufacturing.

This impact campaign is supported through the 2024 2024 CoPower Democratic Budget to drive change in communities.
