Producing and keeping chocolate treats cool requires a significant amount of energy. In 2017, AGL provided Heritage Fine Chocolates with a solar proposal for their Melbourne factory to help them manage their energy costs.

Mackays Produce Solutions (Mackays) provides expert consulting and storage services to tropical fruit growers. AGL proposed a solution for Mackays to refine the way energy was used at its advanced, climate-controlled Larapinta facility.

Moving towards more renewable energy sources and decreasing their electricity costs motivated Rob Dolan to install solar, via an AGL Smart Plan.

Conscious of their energy usage, Reynella Mazda approached AGL to install a solar system on their premises to help reduce their energy costs and their carbon footprint.

Northway Honda in Bundoora was looking for an environmentally friendly and energy efficient solution to reduce their carbon footprint and the cost of electricity to their business. Through AGL’s solar Smart Plan, they achieved their goals.

Australian Multiwall Bag converts paper pulp into large multiwall paper bags. As they work round the clock, the quality of light is important. The existing lighting was so dull it had become a safety issue, so AGL provided a solution that made the nightshift crew feel like it was daytime.

An important element in the production of wine is light, so lighting must be specifically designed to suit the unique purpose of each area of the winery – from the cellar, to the barrel and bottle storage areas, through to the workshops and kitchens.

Across its two sites, Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Zoo, Zoos SA is focused on the protection and conservation of threatened and endangered species and spans more than 1,500 hectares. In 2017, both sites required lighting upgrades and approached AGL for assistance.
