Pacific Blue

The Port Broughton Bowling Club was buzzing with excitement on Monday as it hosted the 2024 Clements Gap Sustainable Community Fund Presentation. The weather was perfect, with the sun shining bright over Port Broughton.

We had a fantastic turnout of local community members and panelists, all sharing inspiring stories about the great work Pacific Blue’s funding has supported—and what’s still to come! The day was filled with optimism, as everyone left feeling hopeful and ready to take on new initiatives to strengthen our community.

We are proud to announce that Pacific Blue is the Official Renewable Energy Partner of Australian Open and Tennis Australia!

The exciting partnership will see Pacific Blue supply all of the Australian Open’s electricity needs at Melbourne Park with 100 per cent renewable energy in the form of LCGs, generated from its windfarm in Portland, Victoria.

Speaking about the Partnership, our CEO Domenic Capomolla said
“While other energy companies are making promises about what they are planning to do sometime in the future, for more than 3 decades Pacific Blue has only ever produced 100% renewable energy. We are very excited to work with the world leading teams at Tennis Australia and the AO, who are committed to getting on with making real change today. We are very much looking forward to supporting them to become one of the first major sporting events in Australia to source the entirety of their electricity through renewables.”
