lllawarra named as NSW's first urban renewable energy zone in push for local power solutions

The Illawarra region has been designated as New South Wales' first urban renewable energy zone (REZ), marking a significant shift toward localised clean energy solutions. Unlike traditional REZs that focus on large-scale projects, this initiative emphasises community-driven efforts, including rooftop solar installations, home batteries, and electric vehicles. The plan aims to leverage existing infrastructure and the region's skilled workforce to integrate renewable energy into daily life. The NSW government, in collaboration with EnergyCo and Endeavour Energy, is engaging with local communities and industries to develop this model, which could serve as a blueprint for urban renewable energy integration across Australia.
