Wesfarmers LED Lighting Project II (Revoked)
ERF103327
Project Information:
Wesfarmers LED Lighting Project II (Revoked) is an aggregated energy efficiency project that was implemented across multiple commercial sites nationwide. Registered in April 2016, the project was designed to operate within the built environment of Wesfarmers' extensive retail portfolio, which includes major chains such as Bunnings, Kmart, and Target. Because this is a dispersed industrial project, it does not have a specific project area size, nearest major town, or regional land use profile.
The project operated under the Commercial and Public Lighting Methodology Determination 2015. Energy efficiency projects of this type involve reducing electricity consumption and associated Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by replacing inefficient legacy lighting (such as metal halide or fluorescent lamps) with energy-efficient LED alternatives. The standard requirements for this project involved the installation of 240V and ELV LED lamps and luminaires across various serviced areas.
Because the project was situated entirely indoors within serviced commercial facilities and warehouses, typical environmental metrics such as rainfall classifications and soil types are not applicable.
This project was voluntarily revoked on March 21, 2018, under Section 30 of the CFI Rule. Notably, the Commercial and Public Lighting methodology itself was later revoked by the government in April 2022. It was determined that LED upgrades had become "business as usual" across the commercial sector, meaning they no longer met the additionality requirements of the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme.
