We’re installing 3 new community batteries to capture and store renewable energy, so we can power our facilities more sustainably. 

This is one step towards our goal of achieving zero emissions for Manningham Council by 2028 and for our community by 2035.

Community battery benefits 

These batteries – at Mullum Mullum Stadium, MC Square and Manningham Council Depot – will deliver:

• lower emissions
• a more stable grid
• backup power to the site during an outage

How do community batteries work?

Community batteries store extra solar power from that site and release it when demand is high.

This keeps the grid reliable, which will become increasingly important as more renewable energy powers our community. 

When will construction begin?

Construction will begin in October 2025, with all 3 batteries switched on by March 2026.

How will this impact me? 

Compact and quiet, these batteries won’t disrupt your power supply or services.
