Annual Integrated Report 2019

Bidfood Australia Solar Programme Solar systems have been installed since 2014. The rst large-scale installation was at the foodservice depot at Bibra Lake, Perth, generating capacity of 290kWh. Since then additional installations include smaller scale arrays on depots in Adelaide (100kWh) and Townsville (80kWh). The new depots generation capacity is 290 kWh in Truganina (VIC), 190kWh in Richlands (QLD), 100kWh in Launceston (TAS), and 190kWh in Dandenong (VIC). All have been installed in varied con gurations during the past year.

On a sunny day you can get 80-95% utilisation; on a cloudy day you might get 10-25%! The Perth solar plant has produced 1610 mwh of power in five years, it has saved nearly A$290k at A$0.18/kWh, with a 25-year effective life and an initial cost of A$766k. Bidfood NZ has recently added an eco- friendly hybrid truck to its existing eet. The truck is a Mitsubishi Fuso HEV75G2 Duonic Hybrid with a 110kw engine and 45kw electric motor. It was purchased with a view to gain a greater understanding of how hybrid vehicles work and to assess their feasibility as a future transportation option. Bidfood Australasia takes the threat of global warming very seriously and is committed to operating in a sustainable fashion by minimising the impact of our carbon footprint.
