Absent explicit legal status for FPIC, binding benefit-sharing and adequate resourcing, the Victorian Access Regime risks repeating historic patterns of extractive development that exclude First Nations people. Our submission to VicGrid: assets.nationbuilder.com/fncen/pages/... #auspol #vicpol

There are solutions. When temperatures rise and it's forecasted 40C, prepaid meters can be programmed to prevent disconnection in that window. That would avoid and mitigate some of the worst harms that we're seeing of prepayment during extreme temperatures. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #auspol

First Nations are key rights-holders and central to the future social licence and sustainability of Australia's energy sector. Proponents must be prepared to negotiate. Visit our ‘Building Capacity of Proponents’ toolkit for more. proponents-toolkit.firstnationscleanenergy.org.au #auspol #energy

Thanks, that's brilliant. Had no idea FNP clean energy was so wide spread.

Zoom in to explore First Nations clean energy partnerships in regional Australia. #Politicsofhope #FirstNationsCleanEnergy

There’s a number of First Nations clean energy partnerships developing wind, solar and hydro projects in Australia. Take a look >> www.firstnationscleanenergy.org.au/energy-proje... #auspol

Thousands of First Nations households across northern Australia live with prepaid power, where disconnection can happen at any moment. A new report has warned that without stronger protections, the system could turn deadly in extreme heat. www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast... #auspol

Prepayment electricity reform is critically needed. Prepayment systems are either voluntary, the default option or mandated in many regions with large First Nations populations including the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia. nit.com.au/03-11-2025/2... #auspol

No one should be left behind in the clean energy transition. Prepayment for power arrangements - used in many First Nations communities in NT, SA, QLD and WA - need urgent reform to ensure basic consumer protections and no more disconnections. #auspol #energy

Families forced to prepay for power are experiencing a high number of electricity disconnections, exposing them to dangerous temperatures, a report has found.

Another day in the colony There are about 65,000 customers like Mr Kunoth and Ms Peters who are on government prepaid power plans mandated in locations with significant First Nations populations in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Far North Queensland and South Australia.

This is disgusting. Why can't Australia's government add batteries and panels and provide power to these relatively few homes in remote areas like this? We're a rich nation. "Powerless: The hidden crisis of prepaid energy and First Nations communities" www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

New report exposes what’s happening behind the prepaid meter. If it happened in Sydney, it would be a scandal. In First Nations communities, it’s policy.

‘A landmark report, The Right to Power — Keeping First Nations' communities connected on prepayment, found nearly 9,000 households were impacted by frequent disconnections that are "undermining health, wellbeing and economic participation".’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

A new report, released today, highlights the urgent need for prepayment reform, to ensure access to fair, affordable energy for First Nations communities: https://loom.ly/XiCIIKo This research is supported by an @energyconsumersaus.bsky.social grant.

People must have electricity and food security. Green transition 💻🔋

A new report calls for a basic reset: treat prepayment customers as full energy consumers with equal rights, protections and access to clean, affordable energy. This photo of the research team delivering the report was taken in Parliament House today. reneweconomy.com.au/most-austral... #auspol

The first thing Bernedette Angus does in the morning when she wakes up is check her electricity meter. It shows her how much credit she has remaining before the power will be shut off. When it hits zero, the lights go dark. Prepayment energy arrangements need urgent reform. #auspol

Prepayment energy customers who are mostly First Nations people, by and large miss out on consumer protections enjoyed by post-pay customers in Australia. This needs to change. The Right to Power report is being launched today. No one should be left in the dark. #auspol

Everyone should have access to reliable power. No one should be left in the dark. #auspol #energy

Next week, Original Power and @firstnationscen.bsky.social will launch a landmark report, 'The Right to Power - Keeping First Nations' communities on prepayment connected' - and you can join the virtual launch: loom.ly/QQWLEDo

First Nations people, communities and groups are increasingly looking to co-design, lead and partner or own clean energy systems. #auspol #investing #cleanenergy #equity

Australia’s clean energy transition is set to transform the country, with First Nations peoples playing a central role in shaping and benefiting from this historic shift. happyeconews.com/australias-c... #happyeconews

Investment in First Nations leadership is paramount to Australia realising the full value of its clean energy potential. That's the key message of a submission from the First Nations Clean Energy Network to the Federal Treasurer's economic reform roundtable in Canberra this week.

Our Coordinator @robiehalip.bsky.social represented REP at the 3rd First Nations Clean Energy Symposium, underscoring that Indigenous Peoples must be recognized as rightsholders in the energy transition.
