Improve Energy Performance: Does your company trigger the NGER ?

Continuing from our previous blog entry, this discussion looks at reporting under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act). The Australian, State and Territory governments developed the National Greenhouse Strategy , released in 1998, to provide the strategic framework for advancing Australia’s domestic greenhouse response and for meeting current and future international commitments. The strategy is the primary mechanism through which Australia’s internal commitment to reduce the threat of climate change will be met. However, in more recent years there appears to be no national consistent bi-partisan energy and climate-change policy. The NGER Act established a […]

Financial Sustainability: Reduce electricity costs with Solar and Energy Monitoring Systems

Continuing from our previous blog, this discussion looks at energy monitoring systems and how they can facilitate renewable energy opportunities to optimise energy and costs. The electricity mains profile or building electricity signature is unique for each building, that reflects operational activities and energy efficiency. Electricity monitoring is advantageous in the retail electricity market as it allows you to offer electricity retailers detailed energy consumption and demand patterns. This helps electricity retailers to offer competitive tariff rates for each half hour of the day and at other times of the week. Another bonus with electricity monitoring besides managing electricity in […]

Financial Sustainability: Reduce electricity costs with implementing a solar generation feasibility study

Continuing from our previous blog, this discussion looks at clean energy and how it can facilitate renewable energy opportunities to optimise energy and costs. In our experience, solar systems at similar premises could reduce: Electricity costs by up to 30% Carbon emission by over 50% Simple payback periods under 4 years. However, an independent feasibility study is needed to conclusively establish the opportunities at any given site. The proposed solar generation feasibility study may include: Establishing the solar project goals, including any desired profitability, expenditure limits and payback requirements Solar generation estimates based on our knowledge from previous site visits […]
