Enova Energy: Electricity plans

Australia's first community-owned energy retailer Enova Energy puts the power back in the hands of NSW residents.

Can I get solar power?

Yes, Enova offers solar plans with feed-in tariffs to customers who already have solar panel systems. Depending on the plan you sign up for, you may need to have a net meter installed.

If you don't have a solar system installed and aren't able to get one, the company offers a unique opportunity. Customers in certain areas can contribute to a solar garden project which buys and installs solar panels on the roofs of medium-sized businesses. In return, you'll get a credit on your power bill and help support renewable energy.

Can I get GreenPower?

Yes, Enova is GreenPower accredited and offers plans with 50% or 100% of the energy sourced from government-certified renewables.

For those who want to further reduce their carbon footprint, customers can also join a Renewable Development Initiative that helps create and support community solar projects.

Enova Community

Enova Community is Enova's not-for-profit branch that facilitates access to renewable energy for low-income residents and community groups with limited funds. The charity works with several community organisations on the following projects:

• Solar gardens. The solar garden project enables people who can't install solar on their own rooftops to contribute to renewable energy by helping buy solar panels for solar gardens in exchange for a recurring credit on their electricity bill.
• Community housing. In partnership with North Coast Community Housing and the Office of Environment and Heritage, Enova supports community housing solar projects. The company also offers home energy audits to help low-income residents reduce electricity consumption and save money.
• Solar for community groups. Enova has worked with LightnUp Inc, RED Inc and Community Owned Renewable Energy Mullumbimby to install solar panels on rooftops of community organisations.
