Using an international protocol, Yarra has just completed the measurement and verification of the first 2 years of the innovative 10 year Energy Performance Contract (EPC).

Initiated in 2014, this major Council project aims to reduce Councils greenhouse gas emissions by over 2,000 tCO2e per annum and pay off the capital expenditure in less than ten years by reducing Council’s energy and maintenance related costs by over $270,000 per annum.
