Port Augusta is located in the most
beautiful part of South Australia.

2
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's right at the very tip of Spencer Gulf
and obviously in the background

3
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
we have the magnificent Flinders Ranges.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
And of course that location also leads

5
00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:19.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
to some of our attributes
in terms of renewable energy with the sun

6
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:21.680 align:center position:25% size:50%
and solar energy that we have
and also wind.

7
00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:27.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
Enel Green Power Australia is the owner of Bungala
Solar Farm, which is based near Port Augusta.

8
00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:33.240 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's a photovoltaic plant
of 275 megawatts of operational capacity.

9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.320 align:center position:25% size:50%
We really encourage the team of the Port
Augusta City Council, to be innovative,

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.040 align:center position:25% size:50%
to come up with ideas, to chase
opportunities, to liaise with companies

11
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:45.840 align:center position:25% size:50%
about getting engaged with the local
community and to embrace the arts.

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.960 align:center position:25% size:50%
We were looking for a really
good partner to partner with us.

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
Thankfully Enel Green Power

14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.840 align:center position:25% size:50%
are very supportive of the communities
in which they operate.

15
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.760 align:center position:25% size:50%
Enel Green Power sees value in partnering
with local stakeholders such as the Port

16
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:04.440 align:center position:25% size:50%
Augusta City Council as part of our CSV
‘Creating Share Value’ approach,

17
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:07.760 align:center position:25% size:50%
we really collaborate
with the local communities

18
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.120 align:center position:25% size:50%
and be good neighbours
so that social, economic and environmental

19
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:17.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
aspect of the communities in areas
where we work in, can benefit.

20
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:20.720 align:center position:25% size:50%
Council has gone out
for the last six months seeking artists

21
00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:23.760 align:center position:25% size:50%
to submit sculptures
with the theme of solar and sun,

22
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
harnessing natural resources.

23
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
So the sculptures had to be made up of
either 50% raw or 50% recycled materials.

24
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
I really like that it draws
on the attributes of Port Augusta.

25
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's about the solar energy

26
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
that we have in the area
and it's linking that to the arts.

27
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:42.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
I think the artists have had a lot of fun
meeting that challenge.

28
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:43.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
I think the community

29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
have really appreciated
seeing that, and we've got some fantastic

30
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
creative ideas in the artwork
that we've got.

31
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.960 align:center position:25% size:50%
My work is called Sprouting Turbines.

32
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's a sunflower seed.
On the inside of the seed pod,

33
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
are layers of recycled corrugated
iron all stacked together.

34
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.160 align:center position:25% size:50%
So they symbolize
radiation waves.

35
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:07.760 align:center position:25% size:50%
They’ve had 80 years of sun and 80 years of wind
and weather on them.

36
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
That material has had a lot of energy going on it

37
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:14.080 align:center position:25% size:50%
to make it the way it looks right now.

38
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.800 align:center position:25% size:50%
The exhibition tonight is beautiful
and I'm so glad we've been able to be part of this.

39
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.040 align:center position:25% size:50%
The tourism numbers over
the last few weeks has been really high

40
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.320 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the garden has been quite crazy
with people coming and going, looking at the sculptures.

41
00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:30.240 align:center position:25% size:50%
People coming
into our community is hugely beneficial.

42
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.280 align:center position:25% size:50%
It adds
to the vibrancy of the community,

43
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
but it also adds to the economics
of the community.

44
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:38.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
Also getting people in the community
thinking about being sustainable

45
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
and recycling and making sure
that they're protecting our environment.

46
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
Renewable energy is our future.

47
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:45.680 align:center position:25% size:50%
We're very proud

48
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
about the fact
that we can have local people

49
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
who are working in those particular
fields.

50
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:53.800 align:center position:25% size:50%
The future for Enel Green Power
in the region looks exciting.

51
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.240 align:center position:25% size:50%
We want to keep partnering

52
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.040 align:center position:25% size:50%
with organizations and institutions
such as the Port Augusta City Council.

53
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
As an organization,
we are absolutely committed

54
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.840 align:center position:25% size:50%
to renewable energy and we've learned a
lot from Enel Green Power.
