Central Coast shopping centre turns to solar
Deepwater Plaza Shopping Centre, located in Woy Woy on the New South Wales Central Coast, has recently taken steps in sustainability by installing a solar system.
With fluctuating electricity costs impacting budget on a consistent basis, Sustainability & Projects Coordinator Paul Briggs worked in conjunction with Go Energy on a viable solution.
Go Energy designed a custom solar system specific to their premises, incorporating the roof size and energy consumption history into the overall strategy. This ensured maximum benefit to Deepwater Plaza, with the solar system producing adequate power for their operations and effectively reducing electricity costs and reliance on the grid. Finished in time for the establishment’s thirtieth year in business, it signifies another chapter in their evolution.
