Case Study - Wyndham Harbour

Our Customer

Wyndham Harbour is a beautiful new marina located on the North Western Shore of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria.

This large world-class precinct sports luxury apartments, boat berthing and restaurants. It is the only safe harbour between Geelong and Williamstown for boaters seeking protection from Victoria’s volatile weather. The harbour offers a stop-off point or a great place to berth and explore the Werribee area. Being a large harbour it provides 150 vessel berths and an on-water fuel dock that is open 24/7.

How We Helped

With growing energy bills Wyndham Harbour sought a better way to save costs and manage their energy procurement on an ongoing basis. After a consultation with Choice Energy’s experts, Bree O’Rourke, Wyndham Harbour’s Financial Controller realised there was an opportunity to save $55,000 in energy costs over three years, through professional procurement management and cost hedging. She also recognised a need to transition from a no-contract status to fixed rates to reduce risk.

In the process Wyndham Harbour not only secured a way to reduce energy costs, it realised these advantages:

• Shift from price hikes vulnerability to competitive fixed rates

• Metre monitoring 24/7 and power bills validation

• Control over energy budget and reduced bill shock

• Ongoing support and reports
