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

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.
