Case study

The Trustee for Catholic Cemeteries & Crematoria Trust

Energy Action recorded the winning terms in Utilibox for tracking and reporting so stakeholders can reconcile invoices to contracted rates. Contract totals and statutory
environmental components sit in one place and the site details and NMI support audit and internal governance for future events.

The client

Catholic Cemeteries + Crematoria operates cemeteries and crematoria across Greater Sydney. Macarthur Memorial Park, located at located at 176 St Andrews Road Varroville
encompasses 6 commercial scale buildings with annual consumption of 481,000 kWh.

The Problem

Energy Action reviewed billing and usage and identified a mismatch between tariff and demand profile.

The site was billed as an SME despite commercial scale consumption.  A tariff comparison set a fair benchmark using the report methodology and aligned the  site to a commercial meter.

The twelve month benchmark sat near $130,000. The  twenty four month benchmark rounded to about $255,000.

"We value Catholic Cemeteries + Crematoria and their mission. Correcting the tariff and
running a clean auction produced a strong commercial outcome for a special site."

On twenty four months the best total rounded to about $135,000 against about $255,000. On thirty six months the best total rounded to about $200,000
against about $385,000. The savings round to about $60,000 about $120,000 and about $185,000 which equal about 45% about 47% and about 48%.
