Tour of the Central Powerhouse

Dec 13, 2020 | Pawa Atunmankunytjaku

Whilst out on the APY Lands, we were privileged to have a tour of the Central Powerhouse at Umuwa.

This was extremely educational, especially to those of us that have lived on communities previously and remembered the old tin shed that enclosed a generator for each community!

We also got to see the site of the new solar farm which is currently under construction. 

When completed, the upgraded Central Powerhouse will comprise 3 megawatts of solar photovoltaic panels and 1 megawatt of battery storage capacity, and will deliver 4.4 gigawatt hours of clean energy and reduce the amount of diesel used by 1 million litres per annum.

We hope to take the Anangu Energy Education Workers (EEW’s) on a tour of the Central Powerhouse as part of their training in March. This will help the workers have a greater understanding of how electricity is made and how it travels to the communities.

Tax Help is Coming to Our Communities! 

Our Tax Help team will visit communities across the APY Lands and Central Australia to help you with your tax return, answer your questions, and make tax time a little easier.
