Through a combination of solar and gas technology, water desalination and complementary demand management strategies, the Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort now runs on approximately 40% erneuerbare Energien, with a goal to operate on 100% renewables in the next three years.
Promoting energy efficiency
The resort has undergone a series of transformations over the years to improve the visitor experience while at the same time reducing its energy usage.

Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives, energy saving measures which resulted in an initial 20-25% reduction in energy costs. The resort staff identified the need for further load reduction and energy savings to maximise the overall effectiveness of the solar hybrid system. The audit also identified the opportunity to develop a hybrid off-grid power station to reduce carbon emissions, Photo Gallery.

The Resort aimed to reduce the size of the area so the solar panels were contained into a single structure, with the space underneath used to build the rest of the station. This compact design reduced the footprint by more than half and resulted in an unusual design.

In 2005, UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge, Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity 550 Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and (200,000 Photo Gallery) to produce power using 220 kilowatt diesel generators running 24 hours per day. After four subsequent upgrades to improve how the resort produces power, the resort is now producing renewable energy from 188 solar panels that produce 43 kilowatts (kW) of power and 45kW of battery storage. This has reduced generator run time to 10/11 hours per day, therefore reducing daily fuel usage to approximately 100 litres per day. The system now includes three battery banks with 72 cells, three inverters and a new generator a quarter the size of the resort’s original units. Photo Gallery 133 kW, and the Spanish Network.
