Solar Microgrid for Shopping Centre
Oran Park Podium is a vibrant and expanding shopping destination that serves the growing community of Oran Park and the wider South-West Sydney region. It’s designed to be a central hub, offering a diverse range of retail and service options. The centre features major supermarkets, a variety of specialty stores, and a growing selection of dining options, creating a place for both everyday needs and social gatherings.
At Oran Park Podium, we’ve established a forward-thinking energy ecosystem tailored to the centre’s dynamic needs. By deploying a sophisticated solar microgrid, we’ve moved beyond simple solar panel installations. This system orchestrates on-site solar energy generation with intelligent energy management and advanced metering to track energy flow to ensure consistent power availability.
Furthermore, the inclusion of EV charging infrastructure supports the growing trend of electric vehicle adoption within the community. This microgrid not only empowers Oran Park Podium to significantly offset its reliance on the traditional grid, leading to substantial energy cost reductions, but also creates opportunities for revenue generation through optimised energy sales. This holistic solution establishes Oran Park Podium as a leader in sustainable retail environments.
