About Gordon Hinds

As Managing Director of Better Energy Technology (BET) I started out to demonstrate how country towns could become renewable energy power stations. I imagined turning up at dusk to the town with media and politicians in tow, with the town lights on, pub open, not difference to any other other town - except it would all be powered by renewable energy. In the pub (or council chambers) would be a large screen tv showing the live the amount of money being made through the export of power for the town.Every town in NSW would line up to have the same plant.By creating more electrical power than a town needs, a valuable export income is earned. This makes electrical power environmentally and economically sustainable. The idea was to turn electricity supply from being a cost for towns into a profit. Its a model that has been used effectively in Germany and the UK. Towns produce food for export, why not electricity?The first showcase town was Lockhart, NSW. It was to become the first grid-connected town to be powered by renewable energy 24/7. The grid is an amazing machine - the biggest on the plant. The key is to use it effectively. Sadly no support was given by ARENA to make this dream a reality despite early promises of support from the then CEO and Board. And its sister agency, CEFC expressed lukewarm interest, claiming 'merchant models are not supported'. They have since changed their tune.The design features a medium-scale solar farm (10MW) and a 10MW/20 MWh battery, all managed through a BESS control system. This is the first true hybrid renewable energy plant in the NEM, AC connected with a single point into the NEM. This configuration provides unprecedented operational advantages with full FCAS, arbitrage and merchant sale of electricity available.Today BET is on the final stages of achieving the approval to connect the plant to the grid. Its been a long process taking over three years. Once that approval is granted, building the plant happens. BET is actively seeking development partners/capital to make that happen.

    During my collaboration with Professor Donald Sadoway and his team at MIT Boston on the potential to manufacture the Liquid Metal Battery (LMB) in Australia, I developed a passion for the renewable energy opportunities and was drawn to the potential benefits of renewable energy for isolated communities throughout the world.In 2017, to pursue this vision, I established Better Energy Technology (BET).The Lockhart Renewable Energy Project is the first project where BET will enable regional towns to be beneficiaries of lower power prices and owners of the electrical generation assets. Following extensive community and Council consultations, BET gained a social license with the support of Lockhart Council to undergo the project. In April 2019, Better Energy Technology was awarded $1 million by the Federal Government under the Community Development Grants Programme to develop the project to the end of Stage I.
