Remote Area Power for The Nepabunna Community, South Australia.

Written by MyEnergy Engineering | Aug 25, 2026, 12:27:41 AM

Located in the northern Flinders Ranges, Leigh Creek serves as a gateway to some of South Australia's most remote communities. Nearby is the Adnyamathanha community of Nepabunna, where the Nipapanha Community Aboriginal Corporation delivers programs and services while caring for Country and supporting the local community.

In remote locations like these, access to reliable power isn't just convenient, it's essential.Off grid power systems need to deliver dependable performance every day, regardless of conditions.

Remote Area Power Challenges

The existing off grid power system needed to be replaced to improve reliability and meet the site's ongoing power requirements.  Located well off the beaten track, the project demanded a solution that could be transported efficiently, installed quickly and continue delivering dependable power for years to come.

Built and Tested Before Leaving the Workshop

MyEnergy designed and delivered a new Remote Area Power System (RAPS) tailored to the site's requirements. To minimise installation time in such a remote location, the entire system was designed, assembled and fully tested at MyEnergy HQ before transport.

Housed within a custom-built weather and vermin-resistant steel cabinet, the complete system was constructed by MyEnergy's in-house team of award-winning electricians. Once complete, the cabinet was transported to site, allowing for a streamlined installation while ensuring the system had already been commissioned and tested before arriving.

The single-phase off grid power system is built around a Victron MultiPlus-II inverter/charger, delivering reliable power for day-to-day operations. It features a 9.5kW JA Solar array mounted on the shed roof using a Schletter roof mounting system and is supported by 25.6kWh of ZYC Energy battery storage.

Reliable Power Where the Grid Won't Go

With tailored off-grid power system now in place, the site has a dependable energy supply designed to support daily operations in one of South Australia's most remote regions. By designing, building and testing the complete system before it left our workshop, MyEnergy reduced on-site installation time while ensuring every component was ready to perform from day one.

At MyEnergy, we specialise in designing remote area power systems that are built for Australia's toughest locations. Every system is tailored to the site's requirements, delivering reliable power where the grid won't.
