Overview
Evo Energy Technologies has successfully delivered and commissioned a 1.5 MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Unit at a regional Australian milk processing facility. Installed in partnership with 2G, the system is now operational and represents a key step toward reducing energy costs and supporting the facility’s broader sustainability goals.
The CHP system is expected to generate ongoing revenue through Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) and is projected to contribute to an estimated 15% reduction in annual utility costs. Early modelling indicates the potential to achieve up to 94% on-site energy self-sufficiency and a 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions, subject to operating conditions over time.
This recommendation followed detailed site analysis, with energy data and heat profiles carefully reviewed to ensure the 1.5MW CHP unit could be effectively integrated into site operations. The project was designed to align output with demand, with the goal of improving energy resilience and unlocking long-term savings.
The system is also biogas-ready, with plans to utilise gas from an on-site digester in the future. This next step is expected to further strengthen sustainability outcomes and create additional opportunities for cost and emissions reduction. The digester is being supplied by Complex Enviro Services, who were engaged for their biogas expertise. Once online, the gas produced on site will feed directly into the CHP unit.
