Total electricity use

Since 2011/12 Council has reduced total corporate and streetlighting electricity use by 7% as a result of measures to reduce energy through the Energy Efficiency Implementation Plan (EEIP). This has been mostly driven by Council’s streetlighting upgrade program which has seen a 29% reduction in electricity use since 2005/06. Council has continued to steadily reduce its electricity use despite the addition of the new Council office, located at 311 Glenferrie Road, in late 2015. Total Electricity Use and Total Gas Use decreased from 2008/09 to 2009/10 aligning with the period that Harold Holt Swim Centre was closed for renovations. Energy use increased when the site re-opened. * Total Electricity and Total Gas consumption presented in the Sustainability Snapshot 2014/15 has been adjusted in 2015/16 due to incorrect data reported in 2014/15 resulting from missing data from utility providers. # Gas consumption at Prahran Aquatic Centre has been averaged over three years from 2013/14 due to significant data anomalies from the utility provider.
