About
Working in project development and investment with existing renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. To achieve greater scale or broader application, these technologies require innovative business models or applications.
Development of these projects and business models using a background in engineering and finance and a deep understanding of the Australian energy system and what it takes to get projects/investments supported and implemented.
Enjoys:
• Building support for innovative projects
• Turning complex topics into simple explanations
• Financial analysis
• Preparing business cases
• Helping and connecting others
Some notable implemented projects (Australian firsts):
• UTS to Singleton Solar Farm offsite solar PPA (NSW, Australia)
• Dandenong Precinct Trigeneration Project (Vic, Australia)
• UTS contract for District Cooling purchase from from Brookfield Central Park

Case Study: Aalborg taps low carbon energy
The Fifth Estate
See publicationIn 1973 Denmark’s dependence on imported energy hit an energy shortage crisis and among the responses was a driving ban on Sundays.
The experience galvanised determination to be more self sufficient and energy efficient. Today the town of Aalborg (pictured) is one of many municipalities connected to a zero carbon heating grid that works like a dream, and is an example as to what can be achieved in Australia.

Following development of a community-endorsed Shared Vision and Master Plan, central Dandenong’s transformation is well underway.
Key projects include:
* Lonsdale Street: transformation of the city’s main street into a green, pedestrian-friendly boulevard.
* Stockmans Bridge: a new western entrance into central Dandenong, crossing the railway line and linking Cheltenham Road with the heart of town.
* City Street and Station North Plaza: creating a new, logical and well-lit link between Dandenong Train Station and the heart of town.
* Metro Village 3175: creating more homes within walking distance of the town area.
* Streetscape and road improvements: reducing traffic congestion in central Dandenong while widening and greening pedestrian areas.
Government Services Office: stimulating new office development in central Dandenong and establishing government services in one easily accessible location.
* POP-UP-PARK: establishing a temporary outdoor recreational facility to encourage structured and positive group activity near Dandenong Train Station.
* PRECINCT ENERGY PROJECT: A decentralised heating and electricity generation facility to service immediate developments within central Dandenong. It is the first project of this kind across multiple property titles and owners. On completion, substantial carbon saving would be achieved as low emission (gas fired) electricity is generated and waste heat is capture and utilised. Developers, building owners and tenants enjoy cost savings in trying to achieve 5 Star Green Star rating.Other creators -
