Off-grid region

Off-grid power across the Wimmera and Grampians.

Big skies, long distances, and properties where the grid was never going to reach in the first place.

The country

What the Wimmera & Grampians asks of a system.

Out through Stawell, Horsham and the country around the Grampians, standalone power is often the only sensible option rather than an alternative to a connection. Distances between properties are large, and so are the distances a service call has to travel.

That shapes how we build here. We over-specify on reliability and on remote monitoring, because the cost of a callout is measured in half a day of driving. Systems in this country get the more conservative design, the better-supported equipment and the automatic generator changeover more often than not.

  • Conservative sizing and redundancy — a callout is a long way away
  • Remote monitoring so faults are diagnosed before anyone gets in a vehicle
  • Automatic generator changeover specified more often than in closer country
  • Water pumping and stock loads built into the design from the start
