Water in. Power out.

Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Boree Creek, a fuel cell turns it back into electricity and water, and the water goes round again.

Boree Creek: questions

Can H2OME power a home in Boree Creek?

Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Boree Creek home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.

How long can it run Boree Creek through a power cut?

Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.

When will H2OME be available in New South Wales?

It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and remote New South Wales properties like those around Boree Creek are exactly who the pilot is for.
