Mitcham Community Energy Plan

A game-changing solar community!

In the quest for sustainability, the Mitcham community has now offset a total of three power plants, pushing the boundaries of what a community can achieve.

The City of Mitcham is no longer just a city; it’s a beacon of inspiration for the nation. As we endeavour to add more chapters to our success story with community batteries, a Mitcham exclusive virtual power plant, and electric vehicle chargers, we move closer to transforming the city into a self-sustaining power hub.
