How deadly is this?! 🪃❤️⚡️🏆 A huge congratulations to everyone involved in our decade-long partnership with Marlinja community in the NT, with the project taking out the top prize in the First Nations Engagement + Participation category last night at the Clean Energy Council Awards on Gadigal Country. Together, we’ve worked to design and deliver Australia’s first Indigenous-owned and operated microgrid — a powerful example of what self-determined energy futures can look like when communities lead the way. Massive shout out to our technology and capacity partners Arup, PAB Electrical, 5B and so many others who backed community leadership every step of the way. This recognition belongs to everyone who believed in doing things differently. Congratulations as well to all the other nominees driving First Nations ownership and benefit in the clean energy transition. We’ve still got plenty of work ahead, but together we’re proving what’s possible. ⚡️✊🏾🥳 Original Power Arup PAB Electrical 5B First Nations Clean Energy Network
