• Cost savings from the replacement are directly returned to the relevant Branches.

• A number of sustainability focussed initiatives have been identified and will be progressed with the support of our preferred Energy Partner following negotiation and award of Council's Energy Request for Proposal (RFP) process.
• Most notable among the initiatives is the upgrade of High Voltage (HV) assets at the site to meet the needs of this critical infrastructure and future proof the facility. This upgrade will also include the integration of Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to improve sustainability outcomes from Council's treatment operations.
• A preferred Energy Partner has been selected and Logan Water is working closely with them to finalise associated agreements.
• Loganholme wastewater treatment plant solar has progressed the design for solar and battery co-location.
• The interfaces with Energex and the planned HV upgrade of Loganholme Waste Water Treatment Plant have been considered in the solar and battery design.

• review of potential local solar panel recyclers and other options
• evaluation of feasibility of amalgamation of solar panel recycling with other related contracts such as e-waste and batteries
• Request for Quote issued March 2024, which included recycling provision for general e-waste, medium-large lithium batteries and solar panels
• selection of preferred contractor to deliver the recycling service.
