About the group
The Business Renewables Buying Group is designed to bring together a group of like-minded businesses seeking to switch to 100% renewable electricity. With the support of an external facilitator, the group will work collectively to scale up their buying power while cutting complexity, time, and cost associated with going 100% renewable.
The Business Renewables Buying Group is open to businesses across Victoria consuming over 500 MWh a year of electricity (spending ~$100,000 per annum).
Through the Business Renewables Buying Group we are striving to build and refine this model and create a repeatable and scalable group purchasing method to support more businesses to join a renewable future.
