Should electricity discounts apply for regional communities in the clean energy transition?
Regional and rural communities that are bearing the brunt of Australia's clean energy transition should be not only compensated but empowered through meaningful consultation.
These communities have the potential to become thriving green energy hubs of the 21st century and should be actively encouraged and rewarded for their participation, according to GHD's Chief Client Officer, Sonia Adams.
We need to focus on self-determination - asking communities what is meaningful to them and responding appropriately. Australians are not fans of being told what's right for them, so it is about listening and addressing their specific needs. These areas should not be seen simply as locations for infrastructure but as vital partners in the energy transition."
