Voltage Optimisation for Commercial Premises (Revoked)

Voltage Optimisation for Commercial Premises (Revoked) was an industrial energy efficiency project developed by Beovista Trading Pty Ltd (formerly Beovista Pty Ltd). Registered in June 2020, the project was active for approximately two years before being voluntarily revoked in November 2022.

Unlike land-based carbon projects that occupy specific coordinates, this initiative operated under an aggregated structure targeting commercial premises. Consequently, it was not tied to a single geographic location, town, or land use type. Instead of managing vegetation or soil, the project focused on the built environment, likely across multiple commercial sites where electrical infrastructure could be upgraded. Because the project activities occurred within existing industrial or commercial facilities, standard environmental metrics such as rainfall zones and soil classifications are not applicable.

The project utilized the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology credits reductions in greenhouse gas emissions achieved by improving the energy efficiency of existing equipment. Specifically, this project focused on "voltage optimisation," a technique that regulates the incoming power supply to ensure it matches the optimal voltage required by onsite equipment. By preventing over-voltage, the system reduces energy consumption and the associated carbon emissions.

A notable aspect of this project is its revocation under Section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. This section typically governs the "voluntary revocation of declaration of eligible offsets project, no units issued," suggesting that the project was withdrawn by the proponent before it generated any Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). This is common in the industrial sector where aggregated projects may be restructured or deemed commercially unviable prior to crediting.
