Arche Energy provided tender preparation services (communications and technical) to assist a confidential client lodge a tender for the supply of solar power in a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) arrangement to a behind-the-meter customer in southern Queensland.
In project delivery, a BOOT service is when a government entity grants a private sector party the right to finance, design, construct, own, and operate a project over a certain number of years.
BOOT services are often used as a method of developing large public infrastructure using private funding.
Behind-the-metre refers to energy activities on the consumer’s side of the network connection. It can include anything that a home or business owns, like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and small-scale cogeneration systems.
