The path to clean energy project development and equity participation is confusing, with few case studies publicly available.
Noting this, some First Nations project partnerships are actively sharing their IP and resources.

Graphic with text in a checklist: 'Agenda for 2026': Better reporting by energy retailers, clearly defined energy hardship metrics, remove barriers to accessing CER, measures to assist vulnerable people during extreme temperatures/emergencies, national initiatives to improve targeted support for prepayment and other vulnerable customers, remove mandated prepayment arrangements and protect prepayment customers equally, read original power's report for more info - https://www.originalpower.org.au/the_right_to_power
Research by Original Power and @firstnationscen.bsky.social supported by an @energyconsumersaus.bsky.social grant, shows First Nations energy customers using prepayment are among the world’s most energy insecure: loom.ly/w2HGkkM

Hey First Nations
RU experiencing extreme heat in your homes? Are your family and elders being impacted?
To better understand people’s experiences of heat, we’re running a survey
Our homes must be made safe
Please complete the survey here efcee0ql45h.typeform.com/to/BUIdKcSC?... #mobsky #auspol
Protecting First Nations communities from frequent power disconnections in Australia’s hottest regions
Remote First Nations communities live in regions that experience the hottest temperatures in Australia. There are numerous communities that experience more than 60 days above 40°C, as shown below using 2024 data.
This pattern matches historical data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for 1981-2018, showing the regions with more than 6 days in January above 39°C. Most of the communities with more than 60 days above 40°C in 2024 are located in the dark red zone shown in the map below.
'𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿' report found that #disconnection rates more than double during #extreme #heat & proposed that governments and retailers implement an #exemption from #disconnection during extreme heat.
Here we explain how it could be implemented - thepolicymaker.appi.org.au/protecting-f... 🧪⚡
