Overview
The Electrification of Government Gas Assets Program (EoGGA) will see gas asset replacement works and coordination of associated electricity network upgrade works, which are required for the electrification of over 1,000 gas assets in facilities owned and operated by the ACT Government.
Over the next 17 years, the program will replace the gas-powered assets currently used within Government owned and operated buildings.
This will contribute to the reduction of the Government’s greenhouse gas emissions, and the goal of net zero emissions from government operations by 2040.
This program is being delivered by Major Projects Canberra and will help the ACT to meet legislated net zero emissions targets.
Centralising the coordination of work needed across government to replace gas-powered assets ensures it is prioritised efficiently, supports sector readiness and achieves optimal value for money for the Territory.
Benefits of the program
The program will:
- deliver reduced greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in better environmental outcomes for the ACT
- lead by example by modelling how change through this government program supports net zero emissions
- enable the ACT Government to optimise operational efficiency by reducing costs and achieving improved economies of scale
- drive local economic development as it provides industry transition support
Project pipeline
Three key electrification projects are flagged for implementation in the first year. These are:
- CIT Bruce student residences
- CIT Fyshwick
- Woden Library
A further 17 smaller sites are also planned to be fully electrified in the first year.
A longer-term project pipeline will be available soon.
Opportunities for industry
Throughout the life of the program, the ACT Government will procure the following types of services:
- Project management
- Technical and specialist design and engineering advice
- Procurement and supply of materials
- All elements of construction
- Waste recycling and disposal
- Independent commissioning agent
