Case Study: Australia’s leading telecommunications company achieves 37% energy cost savings and 57% increased IT capacity with Vertiv eCap Energy Optimisation Service

Australia’s Leading Telecommunications Company - Customer Case Study

Australia’s Leading Telecommunications Company, a major Australian telco, needed greater IT capacity and wanted to identify energy and cost savings across its data centre. The company engaged Vertiv to deliver its eCap Energy Optimisation Service to analyze energy use and develop a low‑disruption efficiency plan.

Vertiv monitored power and airflow, retuned the room, and optimised cooling and mechanical systems without impacting operations. The eCap implementation unlocked up to 37% reduction in cooling and electrical operating costs, cut cold‑air requirement by 80% (equivalent to taking about 60 homes off the grid), freed 57% additional IT capacity (allowing four of ten CRAC units to be stood down), secured a single 10‑year NSW ESS energy‑savings payment within six months, and achieved full ROI in roughly three years.
