‘We’re really proud of what we’ve achieved in the past three years, and I want to thank all the residents and businesses in the Northern Rivers and beyond who have supported our journey. It was the enthusiasm, the vision and support of the people of the Northern Rivers that led to the creation of Enova.
What we’re doing has never been done before. We have actually pioneered a new way of doing energy, right here in the Northern Rivers: energy that is local and renewable, that keeps money and jobs in the region and returns profits to the community in a beneficial cycle. It’s a wonderful example of the power that even small communities have, to make real change. Building communities and combating climate change at the local level are central goals.
Now more than ever, local communities need to take action themselves.'
