The Project

Replacing Diesel Generators On Datacentre Construction Project

Microsoft will ensure that its new datacentres in Australia help meet the company’s sustainability goals of being carbon-negative, water positive and zero waste by 2030. This includes using renewable energy during construction to decrease diesel fuel consumption.

Kapitol Group were contracted to deliver the construction of a new Microsoft data centre project in Victoria. The project required a cleaner, more efficient solution to diesel generators to power on-site tower cranes, amenities and switchboards that also aligned with Microsoft’s commitment to sustainability.

The Solution

The AMPD Enertainer BESS

Blue Diamond Machinery supplied Kapitol Group with two AMPD Enertainer BESS, along with 2x smaller 100kVA generators to replace diesel as the primary source of temporary power on site.

The AMPD Enertainer is an advanced battery energy storage system (BESS) that offers a cleaner, quieter and more data-rich alternative to traditional diesel generators. The Enertainer connects directly to the grid and provides peaking assistance for high-intensity equipment like tower cranes. By replacing diesel generators, BESS helps to reduce carbon emissions, pollution, noise, cost and also down-time.

The Outcome

A Reduction In Project Emissions, Pollution, Noise, Cost & Down-Time

The Enertainers significantly reduced diesel usage, saving an estimated 56,160 litres of diesel, which represents a 61% reduction in fuel consumption. This reduction resulted in approximately 150.5 metric tons of CO2 saved, equating to a 61% reduction in carbon emissions. The implementation of the BESS solution led to a total cost reduction of 18% over the project, factoring in reduced diesel fuel consumption and generator rental costs.
