Create Energy Savings Certificates for Street Lighting Projects

Ironbark is working with councils in NSW to create Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) for street lighting projects.

The generation of ESCs is contestable. Ironbark is one of only two organisations currently accredited to create ESCs from council street lighting upgrades. As a specialist local government consultancy we can create ESCs at a much lower cost than other providers. On average we have saved our clients $50,000 per project so before you sign anything, get a comparative quote from us today.

Case Study

While creating and selling ESCs is a complex process, as an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP), Ironbark can reduce the risks and costs for councils by managing the process from start to finish. One council in northern NSW has nearly 1,500 lights that are in the process of being changed over, representing a reduction in greenhouse emissions of around 480 tonnes a year.

This also represents 478 ESCs worth $172,101. This is the equivalent of saving $117 per light. By engaging Ironbark to create the ESCs, councils can effectively reduce the cost of a street lighting changeover. It could be the difference between a project being financial viable or not.

Ironbark is Australia’s leading expert in sustainable public lighting, and has assisted hundreds of local governments to plan for and implement lighting changeovers for both council-owned and distributor-owned lights.

Energy Savings Scheme Webinar

On 28th August 2013, Ironbark held a free webinar for Australian councils outlining the basic steps of a street lighting changeover; the challenges; how to claim your ESCs; other funding and financing alternatives; and lessons from best-practice programs in other states.

The webinar was recorded and is now available below, along with the presentation which can be downloaded here.
