Powering the Future: Embedded Networks for Commercial and Industrial Sites
9 July 2025
As the logistics and industrial sectors scale across Australia, the energy infrastructure that supports them must evolve just as rapidly. The recent opening of Bridgestone’s new state-of-the-art Distribution Centre (DC) at the Port of Brisbane is a perfect example — a future-ready facility that demands a future-ready energy solution.
Bridgestone’s $48 million facility, located within the Port West Estate at the Port of Brisbane, spans 25,000 square metres and is designed to improve the efficiency of tyre distribution across Queensland and northern NSW. The site is part of the Port West Estate embedded network, which is operated and managed by Energy On.
This growing estate highlights how embedded networks can unlock efficiencies and long-term value for commercial and industrial (C&I) precincts.
At Energy On, we partner with asset owners and developers to implement commercial and industrial embedded networks that match the scale and complexity of modern facilities like this. Our embedded networks deliver smarter energy management, coordinated supply, and infrastructure designed for growth.
Why Embedded Networks Matter for C&I Sites
For logistics hubs, industrial parks, or commercial business estates, energy is no longer just a utility cost — it’s part of your strategy. Embedded networks offer:
- Greater Control: Embedded Networks offer greater control over on site renewable generation and Distributed Energy Resources, and the flow of benefits from them.
- Streamlined Billing and Cost Recovery: We simplify the energy experience with accurate billing, cost transparency, and embedded compliance.
- Future-Proofed Operations: Embedded networks enable seamless integration of solar, batteries, and EV infrastructure as site needs evolve.
For Queensland developers and property owners, a QLD embedded network also provides a way to meet local regulatory requirements while maintaining a competitive edge in pricing and sustainability.
Embedded Networks: Profit or Cost Savings?
At Energy On, we help C&I clients turn energy into a financial advantage:
- Recover Energy Infrastructure Costs
- Generate Long-Term Revenue Streams
- Offer Tenants Lower Rates than the Market for Renewable Energy
For multi-tenanted sites, our embedded network approach creates a scalable and cost-efficient solution, ensuring smoother operations for everyone on site.
Supporting Port of Brisbane’s Growth
The Port West Estate embedded network, managed by Energy On, services leading-edge facilities like Bridgestone’s new DC — a clear example of how embedded networks support industrial and logistics growth in Queensland.
We handle everything from design and compliance to billing, renewables integration, and customer service, so that C&I building owners can focus on their core business, not their energy systems.
