Overview

Dungowan Station wanted to reduce diesel reliance, emissions, and operational costs while improving power reliability. CD Power delivered a hybrid solar-battery system under its leasing model, creating predictable energy costs and measurable sustainability gains.

Challenges

  • Heavy diesel use and high fuel costs
  • Inconsistent power supply
  • Limited maintenance access
  • Need to reduce emissions and meet sustainability targets

Solution

CD Power designed and delivered a hybrid solar-battery system tailored for Dungowan Station’s remote operations. The installation combined a 64 kW solar PV array for daytime generation, 100 kWh of battery storage providing up to eight hours of backup, and a 60 kVA generator for reliable fallback power. A 100 kW PV inverter with expansion capacity and upgraded site cabling ensured the system could grow with future demand. Delivered under the CD Power Leasing model, the solution provided predictable monthly costs, full maintenance, and round-the-clock support, ensuring energy reliability without upfront capital risk.

  • Robust design for remote conditions
  • Full manufacture, delivery, and installation
  • Local trade training and support
  • 24/7 remote monitoring and maintenance
  • Delivered through Leasing

A Remote Energy Solution for Moama Bowling Club

Moama Bowling Club is a major regional hospitality venue that required a reliable and cost-effective energy system. The club faced the challenge of reducing energy bills, improving resilience during outages, and decreasing dependence on the electricity grid.

A hybrid microgrid was developed to meet these needs, combining solar generation, battery storage, and integration of the existing diesel generator. The result is a more stable and sustainable energy supply for the busy community facility.

An Energy Park Solution for Euston Bowling Club

Euston Bowling Club is located on the edge of the electricity grid in rural New South Wales. The site faced some of the highest electricity tariffs in the state. As a large market customer, the club was also affected by significant Marginal Loss Factor and Distribution Loss Factor charges. These challenges made the site an ideal candidate for a more efficient and independent energy solution.

A hybrid microgrid was deployed to reduce reliance on the grid, improve resilience, and provide long-term energy security. The outcome is a stable and cost-effective energy supply for one of the region’s most important community hubs.
