Project Snapshot

Yiramalay Studio School

“We started with a 15 kVA system and as Yiramalay grew in student and staff numbers, so did our electrical needs. In 10 years, we went from 15 kVA to 220 kVA. With the rising cost of diesel and the logistical challenges of getting diesel to Yiramalay during the wet season, it was clear that we needed to find a more sustainable solution. Introducing solar became an obvious and important step forward.” — Dr. Helen Drennen AM, SSA CEO
