Welcome to the website of the Adelaide Hills Climate Action Group (AHCAG)

Formed in 2007, AHCAG is an energetic group of people who have come together to take a stand on climate change and work toward a safe, secure future for all.

Climate change requires concerted action, so we aim to support community, business and local government in responding with pratical strategies in the Adelaide Hills. Activities to date include many community information sessions through the Adelaide Hills, stalls at fairs and local markets, film and discussion nights, developing links with local councils, policy submissions to state and federal government, lobbying government and other organisations and collaboration with other community groups.

AHCAG meets in Aldgate at 7.30 on the second Monday of each month

Tim Kelly - Submission on GreenPower 2015

Written by Ron Nicholls

Monday, 09 March 2015 18:42

The National GreenPower Accreditation Program is being reviewed and Tim Kelly has prepared a submission (attached). GreenPower is the poor cousin of the RET, being the market pull mechanism rather than the RET market push requirement for renewable energy. Ultimately we need market pull to work and succeed the RET as carbon priceing and carbon constraints come back into play.

Tim Kelly explores issues surrounding the GreenPower Program and describes why leagal accounting standards and pricing reforms are absolutely necessary and overdue. Tim argues that GreenPower reform is extremely important and urgent, particularly in advance of the roll out of electric vehicle infrastructure.
