Desktop Feasibility Assessment

Our desktop feasibility assessment advisory service provides detailed, upfront analysis for energy-intensive operations across agriculture, mining, farming and food processing. We assess site load demands, operating profiles and growth requirements to determine the most suitable energy solution. This includes evaluating solar, battery, hybrid and off-grid systems, reviewing existing tariff structures, quantifying diesel fuel savings, and assessing energy security and reliability outcomes. The result is a clear, data-driven feasibility assessment that supports confident investment decisions before any capital is committed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can a feasibility assessment identify the most cost-effective off-grid energy solution for my operation?

Our feasibility studies evaluate your site’s energy profile, seasonal load variability, diesel usage, and tariff exposure to determine the optimal mix of solar, battery, and backup systems. We present data-driven recommendations that maximise ROI while ensuring long-term energy security — without committing to capital upfront.

2. What data does JVC Energy require to perform an accurate desktop feasibility study?

We use a combination of interval meter data, load profiles, generator fuel records, site photos, and infrastructure plans. This allows us to model complex hybrid scenarios and simulate system performance under peak demand conditions — all remotely. Engage our team to receive a tailored request checklist.

3. Can a desktop feasibility study support funding applications or business case submissions?

4. What is the turnaround time and deliverable for a feasibility assessment by JVC Energy?

Depending on complexity, turnaround is typically 10-14 business days. You’ll receive a professional report with load analysis, system design recommendations, tariff modelling, and next-step pathways. Contact us today to initiate your assessment and get clarity before you commit.

Energy Assessments

JVC Energy has specialist expertise to provide your organisation with a rigorous independent energy assessment (sometimes referred to as an energy audit). Through the process of assessing energy consumption, JVC Energy can identify and quantify likely energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities that your organisation can employ to not only improve your energy usage but do so in an economically viable manner.

JVC Energy can also assist in facilitating the implementation of the opportunities that have been identified in an energy audit. This includes the development of a ‘go-to-market’ strategy, leveraging our existing network of solution providers to commence installations, provide project management expertise and leverage financial benefits from government schemes where possible. We have previously performed these services for a variety of premises including schools, aged care facilities and hotels.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the commercial value of an independent energy assessment for large facilities?

An independent energy assessment provides a detailed roadmap to reduce operational energy costs and carbon emissions. JVC Energy identifies both quick wins and long-term opportunities, enabling your facility to implement economically viable energy upgrades while positioning for funding or certification pathways.

2. Can JVC Energy assist with implementing the outcomes of an energy audit?

Yes. We don’t stop at reporting — we support full execution. Our team assists with project scoping, supplier coordination, installation oversight, and integrating financial incentives or rebates. This ensures a smooth transition from opportunity to outcome.

3. Are energy assessments required for eligibility in government energy efficiency programs?

Often, yes. Many state and federal programs require an energy audit to verify baseline consumption and validate projected savings. JVC Energy’s assessments meet industry standards, making them suitable for grant applications, VEU schemes, and emissions reporting compliance.

4. What types of organisations benefit most from JVC Energy’s audit services?

Our assessment services are tailored for high-consumption sites such as schools, aged care facilities, hotels, manufacturing plants, and local councils. These organisations typically face rising energy costs and regulatory pressure, making audit-driven action plans a strategic advantage.

Measurement and Verification

Rigorous measurement and verification (M&V) is an essential component of any energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrade.

JVC Energy can provide M&V services based on the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). IPMVP is the internationally accepted standard for validating energy savings. Specific M&V services the EnergyLink Services team can provide include:

Preparation of M&V plans compliant with IPMVP.
Using M&V plans to obtain project finance.
Assistance with accreditations for organisations under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme Project Impact Assessment with Measurement and Verification (PIAM&V) and Victorian Energy Upgrades Scheme Project-Based Activities (PBA) Methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is IPMVP and why is it important for validating energy savings?

The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is the global standard for quantifying energy savings. It ensures that claims of reduced consumption from upgrades are credible, measurable, and accepted by financiers, regulators, and certification bodies. JVC Energy delivers IPMVP-compliant M&V for robust project validation.

2. How can M&V plans help secure funding or finance for energy projects?

Financial institutions and grant bodies often require an M&V plan to confirm projected savings. JVC Energy prepares documentation that proves return on investment — essential for unlocking green finance, asset-backed funding, or performance-based incentives.

3. Are M&V plans mandatory for NSW and VIC energy upgrade schemes?

Yes — for specific project-based activities under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (PIAM&V) and the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, M&V is required. JVC Energy provides accredited support to ensure compliance and maximise your eligibility for incentives.

4. What types of energy projects benefit most from third-party M&V services?

High-capital upgrades such as solar + battery storage, HVAC optimisation, LED retrofits, and power factor correction benefit greatly from verified savings. M&V services from JVC Energy reduce risk, ensure scheme compliance, and support long-term performance tracking.
