The Peel Business Park is an agricultural, food, and industrial innovation hub situated 70km south of Perth in the Shire of Murray.
A key feature of the project is a privately owned and operated grid connected renewable energy micro-grid that provides end users with a minimum of 50% renewable energy through on-site solar energy and battery storage systems, delivering an expected saving of around 30% when compared to regulated bundled tariffs. Positioned as a ‘green industrial park’ model, it aims to attract tenants with net zero ambitions and inspire similar projects globally.
Research activities will focus on technical and governance considerations enabling this type of third-party owned infrastructure, including a roof top leasing model that will see the expansion of the existing 1MW ground mounted PV array onto privately owned buildings.
