Your Community Energy

Your Community Energy (YCE) is a program we established back in 2016 – allowing customers to contribute a little extra when paying for power to support projects with positive environmental impacts.

How Your Community Energy works

Your Community Energy was a Powerpack available for purchase in the Powershop Shop (App and online account).

Your Community Energy is a Powerpack that had a 6.6c/kWh premium included.

We then find Australian groups, charities and philanthropic businesses making a positive impact in our community and the environment.

We distributed this money to the groups to continue their work or to help them start their endeavours. Like the Reef Restoration Foundation!

Past project highlights

Back in October 2019, we provided a $60,000 grant to the Reef Restoration Foundation to build the Powershop Coral Nursery off Fitzroy Island in Cairns.

We’re excited to announce that our coral babies are all grown up and almost 500 new corals have found homes on the Great Barrier Reef! This is all thanks to customers who support Your Community Energy (YCE).

It's because of this ongoing support, that we've been able to provide the Reef Restoration Foundation with an additional $72,647 grant.

This funding will support the ongoing operations at the existing Powershop coral nursery just off Fitzroy Island and will build an additional ten tree coral nursery on Moore Reef.
