THE BRIEF
Problem We Helped Solve
Grid operator delays to connect permanent power prevented developers from energising new homes across several SEQ estates—creating project delays, increased holding costs and risk to tenancy timelines. Diesel generators were not suitable due to residential noise restrictions, high fuel costs, maintenance requirements and unreliability.
What Needed to be Powered
Between 20–55 newly constructed homes per site, staged over several months as homes became due for settlement.
Alternatives Assessed
The only alternative was to wait up to six months for permanent grid power and delay settlements, as generators are not an appropriate or reliable option for these customers.
