Replace Gas Hot Water Plant with Electric Heat pumps |
$100,000 |
|
EV Charging Infrastructure Upgrade |
$201,809 |
An estimate of the cost of this project is provided by the NSW Government online calculator NSW EV Ready Costing Tool Report |
Meterboard Upgrade |
$40,000 |
Meterboard shares fuses on the network side across multiple apartment meters. There is not enough space on the meterboard for all types of smart meters to be installed. Some energy retailers allow smart meter upgrade on current meterboard (e.g. Amber) and others (e.g. AGL, Powershop) do not. |

Solar Photovoltaic for Apartments |
Not viable |
Insufficient roofspace for 80kW solar system. Meterboard needs to be upgraded to allow smart meters for all apartments. |

Replace 15 lift lobby lights with motion sensored lighting |
$3,000 |
