 Disclaimer: While ZEN Inc. receives a small fee when clients sign up via the ZEN
 Inc. portal, ZEN Inc. decided to collaborate with Energy Flex as it is a free app that
 helps Noosa homes and businesses to make savings on their energy bills and helps
 reduce their emissions as a result of behaviour change.



 Impact: Savings will vary, however typical savings range from $500 - $700 a year or more. 23
 people signed up in the first full month of operation.




                          7. Noosaville Community Battery

     •   ZEN Inc’s 5 years of groundbreaking work, including commissioning a
         Business Plan for a Network of Community Batteries in the Noosa Local
         Government Area, led to a consortium (ZEN Inc., Yarra Energy Foundation,
         and Noosa Council), for the $500,000 federally funded community battery in
         Noosaville.
     •   ZEN Inc. was key to negotiating a sponsorship agreement between by
         Energex and Noosa Council and Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF) in 2024,
     •   Energex adopted the Noosaville Community Battery as “pilot”, i.e. Energex
         now covers the tariffs for 5 years – saving Noosa Ratepayers $, while future
         financial viability is investigated.
     •   In 2025, ZEN Inc. conducted further community consultation for Yarra Energy
         Foundation (YEF) and Noosa Council. Residents in the Noosa Bushlands
         Community were updated about the progress of the community battery
         installation. For further detail see the ZEN Inc. 2025 Annual Report.




 Impact: 70 households in the Noosa Bushlands Estate will be able to draw their evening
 energy use from the battery instead of buying fossil fuel generated energy.
