Out Performers Aggregated Lighting Project

Out Performers Aggregated Lighting Project is an energy efficiency project located across various urban and commercial built environments nationwide in Australia, rather than at a single geographic site relative to a specific landmark. It was registered in October 2015 and covers an unknown, aggregated area size. Because it is deployed across a variety of serviced commercial and public buildings, the regional land use is strictly urban and commercial infrastructure, completely differing from traditional agricultural land uses like grazing, cropping, or forestry.

The project operates under the Commercial and Public Lighting methodology. This project type involves modifying, replacing, or supplementing existing, less-efficient lighting systems with low-emission alternatives to reduce electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. A standard requirement for this methodology involves verifying the energy savings of the new installations against a baseline. For this specific project, the primary activity is the installation of highly efficient LED luminaires.

Because the project activities take place entirely indoors across a dispersed portfolio of buildings, typical environmental conditions normally analyzed in carbon farming, such as rainfall classifications (e.g., high rainfall or semi-arid) and soil types (e.g., basalt, clay, or sandy loam), do not directly apply to the project's scope. The operating environment is instead dictated by the internal footprint of Australia's commercial built environment.

An interesting fact about this project is the corporate history behind its operating entities. It originated under "Out Performers," a prominent Australian Measurement & Verification (M&V) and energy efficiency consultancy founded in 2009. Out Performers joined ERM Power in 2018, which was subsequently absorbed into Shell Energy (resulting in Shell Energy Trading Pty Ltd becoming the project proponent). In 2026, the engineering division was acquired by the Green Energy Group and relaunched as "Outperformers Next," continuing its legacy of commercial decarbonisation across the country.
