2030Yea
2030Yea is a group of volunteers from Yea and surrounds dedicated to the goal of the township of Yea totally operating on renewable energy by 2030. THE VISION
Ensure Yea has totally renewable energy sources by 2030 by:

. providing bulk buying opportunities for heat pumps and other energy
efficient devices.
. constructing a microgrid to distribute energy

I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun’s energy. If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago~ George Porter, 1973. The History of 2030Yea Incorporated

2019-2020 The Murrindindi Shire Council facilitated a Community Planning Process in Yea to enable the population to decide what projects it saw as important for Yea in the future. 100+ suggestions were whittled down to 11 projects, one of which was ‘Develop a microgrid for Yea’. A group of four volunteers took on the project and broadened the vision to ‘100% renewable energy for Yea by 2030’.

20 May 2020 The group decide to incorporate under the name 2030Yea. Committee positions were elected.

22 May 2020 2030Yea Incorporated registered with Consumer Affairs Victoria.
