Building the investment case for replacing an ageing energy plant
The context
Multi-site integrated resort. Primary plant infrastructure was dated, expensive and inefficient by modern standards — high annual gas and electricity costs, failure risk carrying safety and business-continuity implications, and a worsening environmental footprint.
What we did
- Developed the central energy plant replacement business case with enhancement options for executive decision
- Quantified options against utility cost, risk, and sustainability outcomes
- Ran data-led analysis of existing plant performance across properties
- Mobilised supporting HVAC efficiency initiatives — EC fan retrofits and Delta-T optimisation
The results
- Executive-endorsed evidence base for the capital decision
- Enhancement options quantified with clear trade-offs
- Efficiency program under way across properties, reducing energy use and failure risk ahead of plant renewal
