History of Community Power

The concept for Community Power was originally raised with Darebin City Council by the Westgarth Action Group, in response to the deregulation of the Victorian electricity market in 2002. After consultation with the local community, it was evident that Darebin residents supported Council’s involvement in the project, expressing their strong interest in joining the program.

As a result, Community Power was established, making it easier for residents to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by switching to accredited GreenPower. The Community Power Program has since expanded to include the City of Moreland represented by the Moreland Energy Foundation, with plans to extend the program to other local government areas in the future.

Community Power is pleased to announce our new relationship with Origin Energy - a leader in GreenPower products. After going through a competitive process open to all energy retailers licensed to sell electricity in Victoria, we selected Origin as our new partner with the best proposal.
