The building owners \u2013 APN Property Group \u2013 agreed to an addendum on the existing lease to allow AGG to save on energy costs with an agreed ROI, while greening their property portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PV system has had the annual carbon savings measured and verified at 421 tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;per annum. Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/government-schemes\/#victorian-energy-upgrade-veu\">VEU program<\/a> has also enabled AGG to continue to use Green Power from the solar PV system on their roof. If the system had claimed LGCs and sold those LGCs they could no longer claim the site was reducing their emissions from electricity based on the federal carbon accounting rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the VEU Project Based Assessment (PBA) has given a return&nbsp;of more than 3x what would have been realised for the customer had they claimed LGCs. The time to cash was dramatically reduce to 15 months from project commissioning instead of claiming LGCs out to 2030. The high value of the VEECs combined with the&nbsp;15-month&nbsp;time frame for realising the certificate value, reduced the upfront cost of the system, payback period, and increased the ROI of the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Solar VEECs are really ramping up VIC. Today, 30-40% of the cost of a large-scale solar project can be covered through VEECs &#8211; it&#8217;s a game changer.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is the state\u2019s flagship energy efficiency program that has driven a reduction of 74.9 million tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub>-e in Victoria since 2009.
