Current projects
Ballarat West Employment Zone
We have contributed $500,000 of in-kind services to deliver the Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ) Distributed Energy Assessments for organisations selected by the Ballarat Energy Network (which is part of the Committee for Ballarat). Our work on the BWEZ assessments is the first of many energy initiatives we are aiming to deliver for organisations in western Victoria to support their renewable energy objectives.
Ballarat Community Health
We have completed $150,000 worth of energy assessment services and provided over $200,000 for the installation of rooftop solar and accompanying batteries for BCH. This included an assessment of energy demand and use across its seven sites and providing advice on demand management, retailer and tariff selection and the optimal mix of additional infrastructure (solar and batteries). Five of the seven sites were assessed as suitable for rooftop solar upgrades with installation in progress.
City of Ballarat
We have delivered $370,000 of in-kind consultation services to the City of Ballarat for its North Ballarat Precinct Structure Plan. We worked with the local council and the Victorian Planning Authority to conduct an energy analysis to inform the renewable energy requirements and recommendations to encourage developers to build sustainable greenfield suburbs.
Pyrenees Shire
We have provided a $500,000 investment to deliver solar, battery and power upgrades at key community sites across the Pyrenees Shire. The proposed upgrades will improve energy resilience, reduce energy bills and help support emergency preparedness across the shire.
