The Power to the People project in Pambula plans to establish a community solar garden utilizing flywheel technology for energy storage instead of lithium batteries. This collaboration between the Social Justice Advocates of the South Coast, Pyramid Power, and the Sapphire Coast Historic Vehicle Club aims to harness solar energy, with a projected initial output of 40kW, scaling to 150kW.

The flywheel system is expected to generate approximately $75,000 annually, which will be used to subsidize electricity bills for vulnerable residents in the Bega Valley. A fundraising event on March 28 at the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club will support the project.
