How we helped
Choice Energy provided an assessment and determined a 40kW turnkey solar solution would offset a large amount of the peak energy consumption. As part of Choice’s solar solution, we secured approximately $27,000 in government rebates to help fund the system.
In addition, we installed a load-limiting device and successfully negotiated a 43% lower demand charge with BHTH’s network provider which will reduce their bills ongoing.
Rather than paying their energy retailer for metering and getting no value back, BHTH had an independent meter installed at no extra cost and now has Choice Energy validating the accuracy of its monthly bills. With access to live consumption interval data, Choice Energy now performs network cost reviews to ensure BHTH are always on the optimum tariff.
To complete our service, Choice Energy tendered BHTH’s electricity contracts for the balance of power they consume from the grid. During this tender, we considered both solar feed-in tariffs as well as peak and off-peak consumption splits, a result of BHTH’s load changing due to Choice Energy’s energy efficiency solutions.
In an electricity market that rose 70% in 2016, we actually saved the business $865 and secured retail rates until 2019.
