"Three remote Indigenous communities will soon be powered from cleaner energy sources, with help from the Australian and Northern Territory Governments. Federal Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett and Northern Territory Chief Minister, Paul Henderson have announced funding of $10.8 million to help bring cleaner energy in the isolated Northern Territory Indigenous communities of Alekerange, Ti Tree and Kalkarindji. The Australian Government will provide $6.6 million under the Renewable Remote Power Generation Program to build a total of 40 new solar dish concentrators which will reduce community reliance on diesel-powered generators, Mr Garrett said.
