FCVic has submitted feedback on VicGrid’s draft Community Engagement and Social Value Guidelines, calling for stronger consumer protections for regional landholders impacted by renewable energy projects. The submission highlights risks from rising insurance costs and inadequate coverage for properties near wind and solar farms. FCVic recommends long-term liability safeguards, independent risk assessments, and contract provisions such as time-limited waivers of subrogation to ensure fairness and security for communities already under financial strain.
