New Resource Explores Community Co-Ownership in Renewable Energy

Community Power Agency has released a new resource, Power in Partnership: A guide to developing a community stake in renewable energy, aimed at supporting a shift from consultation to genuine community partnerships.

The guide focuses on how renewable energy projects can move beyond traditional engagement approaches and enable community participation and financial involvement in project outcomes.

As the pace of Australia’s clean energy transition increases, the question of how communities benefit from hosting infrastructure is becoming more prominent. The resource responds to this by outlining approaches to shared ownership and long-term community value.

It provides practical guidance for organisations looking to strengthen their approach — not just through engagement processes, but through project models that enable communities to have a more direct stake.

The release reflects a broader shift across the sector, where expectations are moving from consultation toward more meaningful forms of participation.
