Meloni Muir

Meloni is the IWCE chairperson.  She is a semi-retired academic who, for the last ten years, has worked in science education at the University of Sydney.  She joined IWCE as a way of having a practical impact on climate change, to work with people and offer them opportunities to be able to make a difference by taking up solar.

“I do believe that one person doing one thing makes a difference” says Meloni. If you’d like to chat with Meloni about volunteering in any way with IWCE, contact her at meloni.muir@innerwestcommunityenergy.org.au.

Peter Lawson

Peter Lawson is a Leichhardt resident. After getting solar panels onto his roof with the help of IWCE he liked what he saw and joined the group. The energy and direction of the group is about creating positive action on climate change.

 Peter wants to encourage households to electrify everything. Now!

Penny Biggins

Penny Biggins is a long term Annandale resident who joined IWCE because she wanted to be part of a community organisation that is focussed on doing something useful and practical about climate change.

“Although I have no technical expertise to draw on, I can hand out flyers, host our fund raisers and do other odds and ends. And what’s not to love about helping people generate their own electricity from the sun?”

 

Judith Gonzalez Bravo

Judith is the Treasurer of IWC. A Chartered Accountant with Audit experience. Judith is interested in the transition to renewable energy both from a Commercial and Domestic perspective. At home, she has solar panels, solar battery, EV charger and EV. Judith believes that advocating for sustainable energy use is of utmost importance to help respond to the climate challenges we are facing.

 

Imogen Biggins

Imogen is our secretary. She has recently finished her undergraduate degree in International and Global Studies at the University of Sydney and is currently working in EdTech. While she doesn’t have a house of her own for PV panels (#GenZ), she’s passionate about seeing solar in the community, where it can contribute the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Plus, as soon as she learns to drive, she’ll be lining up for an EV!

 

Marianne Foley

Marianne Foley is a professional engineer and a long time Camperdown resident. She joined IWCE after they helped her put solar panels on her roof, install a battery and get off gas with a heat pump hot water system. She believes we all need to do what we can to minimise climate change and not wait for the government to make changes for us. As a professional working in the building industry she wants to use her engineering and project management skills to help our community work towards a low carbon future.
