Bass Coast Shire Council is one of 46 Victorian councils to sign on to VECO, the Victorian Energy Collaboration, the largest ever emissions reduction project by local government in Australia.
VECO, led by Darebin City Council in Melbourne’s north, will provide 45 per cent of all Victorian councils’ electricity requirements with 100 per cent renewables, reducing greenhouse emissions by 260,000 tonnes of C02-e every year.
Provided by Red Energy, the 240GWh of clean power is equivalent to powering 48,000 homes with renewables or removing the emissions from 90,000 cars every year.
Initiated by and facilitated with the Victorian Greenhouse Alliances, VECO recognises the benefits of renewable energy for the environment and the economy.

British equestrian sport has lost two of its former internationals in recent weeks, with the passing of showjumper Paddy McMahon and dressage rider Sarah Whitmore.
One of the greatest British showjumping riders of all time, Paddy McMahon died peacefully on April 4. He was 87.
McMahon was most memorable for his successes in the 1970s, including the Jumping European Championship gold medal at Hickstead in 1973, riding Penwood Forgemill. He was also a member of the British team that won the Nations Cup at the Dublin Horse Show the same year, and again in 1975.
