Em 2005, when the current owners assumed responsibility for the resort operation, the resort was using 550 litres per day of diesel (200,000 litres per year) 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. The system has a combined capacity of 133 kW, and is housed in a timber-framed structure. The structure is positioned for maximum ventilation and shading of electronics and batteries, and is a self-supporting, ballasted structure, eliminating the need for concrete slab or ground screws.
The Resort would like to add wind power to their renewable energy production but this will require impact assessment to ensure the wind generators are able to function without disturbing the numerous nesting seabirds that utilise the island.
The resort now enjoys a 60% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions, with this expected to increase further as additional solar panels or wind generators are added over time. The resort’s long-term goal is to run the resort entirely on solar power and other renewable power sources thereby eliminating the use of generators except as backup.
