Government & Electrification Strategies

Project-based pricing

Independent, engineering-led advice for councils, government agencies and organisations managing complex facilities or asset portfolios.

Turn energy data, asset condition and organisational goals into a practical roadmap for electrification, renewable energy and staged investment.

Tasmania’s own generation is already largely renewable, so the useful step is often getting off gas or diesel. The strategy is a decarbonisation plan for the sites you have: what to convert, in what order, and what it is likely to cost.

Strategic projects are scoped before quoting. Fees reflect the number of assets, available data, stakeholder engagement, analysis and implementation support required.

What We Assess

Understand what needs to change, what it will depend on and where to start.

The assessment connects energy performance, asset renewal and organisational objectives to identify a practical pathway forward.

What You Receive

An evidence-based roadmap for planning, funding and implementation.

Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include:

  • a current energy-performance baseline;
  • an overview of existing assets and key constraints;
  • prioritised electrification and efficiency opportunities;
  • technology and delivery options;
  • indicative capital and operating costs;
  • estimated energy, cost and emissions impacts where supported by data;
  • financial analysis and business-case inputs;
  • electrical-capacity and infrastructure considerations;
  • recommended sequencing aligned with asset replacement;
  • funding and procurement considerations;
  • implementation priorities; and
  • clearly stated assumptions, risks and dependencies.

The outcome is a practical strategy that can support internal planning, budget decisions, funding submissions and future project development.

Advice is technology-neutral and independent. Tasman Energy Advisory does not sell equipment or accept commissions and referral payments.

Detailed architectural, electrical, mechanical or structural design, statutory approvals, installation, commissioning and contractor supervision are not included unless separately defined.

How It Works

A clear process, from first conversation to practical next steps.

Every engagement is shaped around the property or project, but the approach remains straightforward.

1.

Enquiry & Scope

We establish the organisation’s objectives, assets, existing commitments, decision requirements and desired outcomes.

The project scope, deliverables, stakeholder involvement, timing and fee are confirmed before work begins.

2.

Assess & Understand

Available energy data, asset information, operating requirements, existing reports and planned capital works are reviewed.

Relevant stakeholders are engaged to understand operational constraints, organisational priorities and future requirements.

3.

Analysis & Prioritise

Potential efficiency, electrification, renewable-energy and infrastructure options are evaluated.

Analysis may consider technical suitability, electrical capacity, indicative costs, operating impacts, asset dependencies, savings, emissions and implementation risks.

4.

Report & Next Steps

You receive a staged roadmap with prioritised actions, sequencing, business-case information and practical next steps.

Further support can be provided with funding applications, project scoping, quote reviews, procurement and implementation coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this service for?

The service is designed for councils, government agencies, public-sector organisations and other asset owners planning energy, electrification or infrastructure improvements.

It can support individual facilities, complex sites and multi-site portfolios.

What is an electrification strategy?

An electrification strategy provides a staged pathway for replacing fossil-fuel or inefficient equipment with suitable electric alternatives.

It considers asset condition, operating needs, electrical capacity, energy costs, emissions, renewable energy, dependencies and replacement timing, not simply which equipment to purchase.

Can you assess multiple sites or an entire asset portfolio?

Yes. Portfolio-level work can establish a consistent baseline, compare opportunities across sites and identify which assets should be investigated or upgraded first.

The scope can range from an initial portfolio review to detailed site assessments and costed implementation roadmaps.

How are projects priced?

Government and strategic projects are quoted to scope.

Pricing depends on the number and complexity of assets, quality of available data, required site inspections, stakeholder engagement, analysis, business-case development and level of implementation support.

A proposed scope, fee and program will be provided before work begins.

Does the service include formal design or accredited audits?

The standard service provides independent strategic and engineering-led advice.

It does not include accredited energy ratings, mandatory compliance audits, detailed engineering design, statutory approvals or certification unless these are specifically included in an agreed scope.

Where specialist design or regulated work is required, this will be identified so it can be appropriately scoped and procured.

Can you support implementation?

Yes. Additional support can include:

  • project and technical scoping;
  • equipment and technology comparisons;
  • quote and tender reviews;
  • contractor-query responses;
  • funding and grant support;
  • business-case development;
  • review of proposed design changes;
  • project coordination;
  • post-commissioning optimisation; and
  • ongoing operational reviews.

The level of support can be tailored to the organisation’s internal capability and procurement requirements.
