State Sport Centres Trust (Organisation) is responsible for the management and operation of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, the State Netball and Hockey Centre, Lakeside Stadium and the Knox Regional Sports Park, which includes the State Basketball Centre.

The Organisation is seeking tenders from suitably qualified vendors for the supply, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of a solar PV system to be installed across multiple locations at its Melbourne Sports and Aquatics Centre (MSAC) venue. The project aims to maximise on-site renewable energy generation, reduce energy costs and support the Victorian Government’s sustainability initiatives such as Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) and Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs).

Project objectives include but not limited to are:

• Objective 1 – Maximise the solar energy generation at MSAC from the roof mounted PV system. Initial assessment is that the system size will be more than 850kW.

• Objective 2 – Plan and deliver the project with minimum operational impact.

• Objective 3 – Minimum design life of panels 10 years with expected performance

• Objective 4 – Sustainable disposal of the old system and same for the new system at its end of life.
