ROPER GULF REGIONAL COUNCIL Annual Report 20 -20 THE LOGO The logo was developed from a concept created by Lainie Joy of Borroloola. The five flowing figures have multiple meanings. They represent the five wards in our region (Never Never, Numbulwar Numburindi, Nyirranggulung, South West Gulf and Yugul Mangi); the five main rivers winding through our Region (the Limmen, McArthur, Robinson, Roper and Rose Rivers); the low-lying hills that are visible on the horizon nearly everywhere in the Roper Gulf Region and the Rainbow Serpent that underlies everything. The colours are based on the different colours of the soil, and the people co-existing in the Roper Gulf region.

    Solar/Diesel Mini Grid Handbook

    POWER AND WATER CORPORATION SOLAR/DIESEL MINI-GRID HANDBOOK This project is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). ARENA is an independent agency established to make renewable energy technologies more affordable and increase the amount used in Australia. ARENA is supportive of all renewable energy technologies and invests along the innovation chain – from research in the laboratory to large scale technology projects, as well as activities to capture and share knowledge. More information is available at www.arena.gov.au. Power and Water Corporation (PWC), through its not-for-profit subsidiary Indigenous Essential Services Pty Ltd (IES), is responsible for the provision of energy, water and wastewater services to 72 nominated remote Indigenous communities and 66 outstations across the Northern Territory (NT). To service these communities, PWC operates over 50 isolated mini-grid power systems, most of which rely on diesel fuel for power generation. Electricity demand in remote NT communities is continuing to increase, as a result of Government infrastructure development, service improvement and housing programs and population growth. At the same time the price of diesel fuel is highly volatile, being affected by global supply constraints and exchange rate movements. An ongoing reliance on diesel fuel for remote power generation represents considerable and increasing financial risk. 3 PWC is committed to delivering least-cost, reliable and safe electricity services to remote Indigenous communities and has long pursued alternative energy source options. PWC recognises the opportunity solar technologies present to reduce the reliance on diesel fuel and drive down operational expenditure. PWC has an over 20 year track record of owning and operating solar/diesel hybrid systems Solar/Diesel Mini-Grid Handbook in remote Indigenous communities.
