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.

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.
