Adelaide is one of several regions in Australia, specially chosen to trial new approaches to producing and using energy as part of the Australian Government's Solar Cities program. From now through until 2013, we’ll be working together – governments, businesses and the community - to try out new ideas, products and services that can help contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. The Adelaide Solar City will receive up to $15 million through the Australian Government's Solar Cities Program to help change the way individuals, communities, businesses and governments think about and use energy.

And it's a unique chance for our community to create a brighter future for ourselves, and for our children.

But we can only make a real difference if you come to the party.  So put on your sunniest smile.  Get involved and start thinking green.  Let's set a shining example for the rest of the world!
