Case Study: GemLife achieves integrated, optimised onsite energy management with Evergen

How Evergen have helped GemLife configure their lifestyle resorts to maximise onsite energy generation and storage

GemLife was seeking to configure its over-50s lifestyle resorts to maximize energy generation and storage through a significant investment in rooftop solar and central battery systems. Their challenge involved finding an overarching energy management system (EMS) to control these assets, optimize their performance, and enable future integration of technologies like EV charging. They partnered with Evergen for its EMS solution to meet these needs.

Evergen implemented its energy management system to control and optimize the entire portfolio of assets across multiple GemLife sites, running them as a virtual power plant. The solution provides multi-market optimization to minimize grid reliance and cost while maximizing future energy market opportunities. According to GemLife's Director, the partnership unlocked significant financial savings and progress on their path to carbon neutrality by fully integrating and optimizing their renewable energy investment.
