In this podcast, Beyond Zero radio's Anthony Daniele and Matt Grantham talk to Simon Corbell, who was appointed as the first Victorian Renewable Energy Advocate in December 2016 (for the Victorian government) to promote the state's renewable energy sector, provide independent advice to the Victorian Government and assist the state in meeting its renewable energy targets.

"Simon Corbell recently spoke at the Australia’s first community mini grid launched with Totally Renewable Yackandandah and supported by Indigo Shire, the Victorian government's New Energy Jobs Fund, AusNet Services (electricity distributor), Mondo Power and strong commitment and engagement from the local community of Yackandandah. A mini grid (also called a microgrid) combines the advantages of relying on your own electricity (from rooftop solar and batteries) with the reliability and benefits of the grid."
