Stories of Community Power

Jarra will share stories about the power of communities to take action together, and share some examples of how this is being done to transform our energy futures. She works with communities across Australia who are actively making positive change towards a more sustainable, resilient and just future through community-owned renewable energy projects.

Jarra is a founding director of the Community Power Agency, a worker’s cooperative that supports communities to participate in and benefit from the transition to renewable energy. She is also a parent and a survivor of the 2019 Bushfires that rocked the mid-North coast of NSW, where she lives.
