Out Performers Energy Efficiency Project

Out Performers Energy Efficiency Project is an energy efficiency project located across various unspecified commercial and industrial sites across Australia rather than a single geographical landmark. Registered in October 2019, the project covers an unknown total area size as it encompasses equipment modifications within existing built environments and aggregated facilities.

Energy Efficiency projects operating under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015 involve reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions against a historical baseline. Standard requirements include installing, modifying, or replacing energy-consuming equipment, as well as altering control systems or substituting energy sources with more efficient alternatives.

Because this project occurs within the built environment of commercial or industrial facilities rather than a rural agricultural zone, traditional environmental metrics such as regional land use, rainfall classifications, and soil types (e.g., basalt or clay) are not applicable. The environment instead consists of facility infrastructure.

Project activities target crucial infrastructure upgrades, specifically focusing on control systems and processes, HVAC (air heating and cooling), lighting, refrigeration, and refrigerated display cabinets. The project is run by Shell Energy Trading Pty Ltd, functioning to offset and substitute grid electricity. Notably, a CORE Markets environmental report from July 2024 highlighted that Shell's Out Performers Energy Efficiency project was successfully issued 62,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for its efforts in optimizing commercial energy use.
