Renewable energy for Cape Barren

An Indigenous community on remote Cape Barren Island will soon be able to use the sun and Bass Strait wind to generate much of its electricity.

Ministers for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, and Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, today announced the funding to benefit the 30 residences on the Island which is around 50 kilometres from the north-east tip of the Tasmanian mainland.
