Powering apartment living with centralised energy services

What are centralised energy services?

Our centralised energy services include embedded electricity networks, serviced hot water and natural gas for residential high-rise buildings. As these services provide the energy needs for the whole community within the development, it means we can purchase energy in bulk, resulting in competitive rates for the community living in the development.

Take embedded networks as an example. Quite simply, embedded networks allow the energy for the development to be aggregated and purchased in bulk from the wholesale electricity market through the 'Master Meter' (also known as 'gate' or 'parent' meters). The community then have access to the competitive electricity rates through their own meter which records individual electricity usage.

What are the benefits of centralised energy services?

Hardware is supplied and maintained

Electricity and hot water meters are installed to your schedule at no cost to the developer. Hardware is also maintained for the life of the agreement, and gas meters are no longer needed when our solution is adopted.

Renewable energy solutions

If you're looking to incorporate renewable energy solutions into your development, we have a range of options such as solar PV systems and battery storage, as well as electric vehicle charging stations that can help you meet your goals and future-proof your development.

Competitive pricing

We're able to offer ongoing competitive pricing terms for residents and the community energy supply agreements. We can also offer discounted rates for common property energy usage, helping to offset strata levies. 

Management of site electricity and gas connection

Since we manage the site electricity and gas connection process, there's reduced need for the developer to engage with the Local Network Service Providers (LNSP's) for metering, which can help alleviate delays and roadblocks that sometimes arise.
