Beoefficiency Electricity Regulation
ERF103987
Project Information:
Beoefficiency Electricity Regulation is an industrial energy efficiency project located in Oxenford, Queensland, approximately 20km northwest of the Gold Coast city centre. Originally registered in July 2016 under the name "Beoefficiency Project at the Oxenford Tavern," the project was situated at a commercial venue in a region characterized by suburban development and tourism-focused commercial land use, including nearby theme parks. The project covers an undetermined area size as it is facility-based rather than land-based.
The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology focuses on reducing emissions by upgrading or replacing existing energy-consuming equipment, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting systems, with more efficient alternatives. Participants must calculate the difference between baseline energy use and the post-upgrade energy consumption to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
The Gold Coast region typically experiences a subtropical climate with high rainfall, particularly in summer. While soil conditions are less critical for this facility-based project, the surrounding region is known for varied soil types, including coastal sands and alluvial clays in low-lying areas. A notable administrative change occurred in April 2021, when the project was renamed from its specific location title to the broader "Beoefficiency Electricity Regulation," coinciding with a proponent name variation to Beovista Trading Pty Ltd. To date, the project has generated 6,875 ACCUs.
