GCC is keen to develop a proposal for a solar farm, to be lodged in response to ACT Energy Minister’s call for expressions of interest. The ACT Government is proposing funding of $30 million towards the winning proposal.

Our concept is for a facility located in a highly visible site on the north side, such as near the Federal Highway in the area to be known as Kenny.

GCC's concept is that we want to leverage the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) to allow the community to invest in solar even if they can't afford their own rooftop installation. We wish to form a community cooperative (‘Gungahlin Carbon Neutral’) so people with as little as say $500 could buy a share in a solar income stream via the FIT.

This EOI response would be a major undertaking for GCC, and to pull it off we would need help from interested people with expertise in the field or in developing such engineering proposals.
