Answer

I am advised that the Community Renewable Energy Fund has allocated $18.06 million to 184 projects as of April 2026. Of these, 85 projects costing $6.15 million are complete with a solar generation potential of 1.9 MW. Projects are a mixture of solar and battery systems and a list of funded projects can be found on MBIE and EECA’s websites.
