Stockland has launched a nationwide sustainability initiative with Bradford Energy to offer discounted renewable energy packages, helping reduce energy consumption and power bills. 

The initiative will see discounts of between 15 and 20 per cent with packages available on solar panels, an inverter and optimiser and a battery system.

The initiative highlights Stockland’s commitment to sustainability through affordable and accessible renewable energy. 

At a glance:

• Package quoted is the 6 kW Solar Panels + SolarEdge Inverter & Optimiser (Inverter Size 5) + LG Chem RESU 10H battery.
• Value of the package is $19,000
• Package could save households $3,000pa

Stockland Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mark Steinert said the renewable-energy discount would generate significant ongoing savings for residents. 

“A package of 20 solar panels, with a battery, could save households as much as $3,000 a year – equivalent to the annual electricity cost for a five-person home," said Mr Steinert. 

“We want Australians to live happily, sustainably and affordably in our communities and believe renewable energy offerings such as this, are not only good for the environment, but can be a good investment for residents.” 

Stockland and Bradford Energy’s renewable energy initiative also follows the recent installation of more than $1.6 million of solar panels and batteries to residents of an entire street in Victoria’s Highlands community, at no cost to customers. 

All resident owners on Sustainable Drive in Craigieburn were offered a renewable energy package including rooftop solar panels, an inverter and optimiser, and a battery system, valued at more than $19,000.

Combined, the installation is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 100 cars from the road every year. 

This initiative is part of a long-term research study to assess the environmental and cost-saving benefits of installing solar panels and battery pack technology. 

Mr Steinert said both initiatives highlighted Stockland’s commitment to investing in sustainable energy and developing energy efficient programs. 

Last financial year Stockland installed 12.1MW of solar photovoltaic capacity bringing its total portfolio solar capacity to 16.4MW.

To date, Stockland has invested around $32 million in solar projects with an expected 17.9 MW of solar PV capacity across its Commercial Property portfolio by the end of FY20.
