Shell Energy is proud to work with ARENA on a new initiative to unlock flexible demand at 40 commercial and industrial customer sites in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
The ARENA-funded project, known as ‘Commercialising Smart Energy Hubs’, involves a whole-of-site solution that optimises the energy ecosystem including; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, electric vehicle (EV) charging control, and onsite solar PV and storage.
Shell Energy’s project will recruit shopping centres, supermarkets and a refrigeration distribution centre across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to demonstrate flexible demand of 21.5 MW.
