Voltage Optimisation for Commercial Premises (Revoked)

ERF156028

Project Information:

Voltage Optimisation for Commercial Premises is an industrial electricity and fuel efficiency project registered for nationwide implementation across Australia, with its proponent, Beovista Trading Pty Ltd, based in the Mosman and Cremorne area of Sydney, NSW. Because the project focuses on upgrading energy systems in commercial properties and coordinates are not available, it is not tied to a specific rural land area, but rather operates across various urban built environments. It was registered in June 2020.

Industrial electricity and fuel efficiency projects involve modifying, installing, removing, or replacing equipment to reduce energy consumption. In this case, the project focuses on voltage optimisation, which typically reduces the electrical supply voltage to an optimum level for connected equipment like HVAC systems and lighting. This lowers energy use across resistive and inductive loads without impacting the actual performance of the equipment, thereby reducing emissions from grid electricity.

Given its nationwide commercial scope, the project spans numerous climate zones and urban settings. However, its administrative base in Sydney is characterised by a temperate climate with moderate to high rainfall, and predominantly sandstone and clay soils. The environmental focus of this project type is entirely on reducing grid electricity demand rather than interacting with natural ecosystems or land-based carbon sequestration.

Interestingly, the participant's name was updated from Beovista Pty Ltd to Beovista Trading Pty Ltd in April 2021. The project ultimately did not issue any Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) and was revoked on November 15, 2022, under section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule. Beovista Trading Pty Ltd is also known for managing other commercial energy efficiency upgrades under the same methodology, such as the Beoefficiency Electricity Regulation project.
