IN DEVELOPMENT

Water Lilies

Microgrids combine excellent energy efficiency with on-site renewables, energy storage and smart technology. Residents get most of their energy from on-site generation, topping up from the grid when needed, and exporting any excess energy to it. No fossil fuel is used on site.

At Water Lilies BEC funded the grid-scale battery for the microgrid. The Water Lilies project is well-advanced now, with the battery and much of the microgrid infrastructure in place. The first residents are expected to arrive in 2022.

BEC’s partners at this project are Bright Green Futures and Clean Energy Prospector (CEPRO).
