We’re proud to announce our involvement in an important partnership with Tauondi Aboriginal College; facilitating a pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to participate within the evolving renewable energy landscape across South Australia. 

The Pathway to Electrotechnology program is an initiative established and supported by Flow Power and Westpac, through the Berri Energy Project Community Fund.  

Addressing underrepresentation in the energy industry 

The Australian energy sector is growing rapidly, creating thousands of new job opportunities. Despite this boom in job opportunities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are still underrepresented within the industry – and this initiative aims to change this.  

We believe this partnership can help foster a more inclusive workforce that reflects the diversity of our communities and ensures the renewable transition presents equal opportunities for all. 

Learn more about the Pathway to Electrotechnology program 

Through the Pathway to Electrotechnology program, Tauondi Aboriginal College will support 8 students through a 4-year program, culminating in a completed technical apprenticeship. 

The program aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members by providing unique education to enhance student skillsets and open doors to sustainable career opportunities.  

Backed by Berri Energy Project Community Fund 

Built, owned and operated by Flow Power, Berri Energy Project has been operational since early 2023. The project is the first DC-coupled solar and battery project of its kind in Australia. 

In partnership with Westpac, a community fund was established to support a wide range of environmental, renewable energy and STEM initiatives, for the local community in Berri and throughout South Australia, with over $190,000 to be donated over the project’s lifetime.
