Power for the new marina homes
The Ocean Reef Marina redevelopment is planned to deliver more than 1,000 new homes, including single residential lots and apartments. Those homes are supplied through a renewable energy microgrid run by Ocean Reef Renewable Energy (ORRE), which acts as both distributor and retailer, so most residents set up power with ORRE rather than Western Power or Synergy. When we wire a marina home for solar, batteries or an EV charger, we plan the work with that arrangement in mind.

Larger homes behind the dunes
A protected dune area, at times around 400 metres wide, separates the houses from the Indian Ocean. Behind it sit some large houses: 80.5% offered four or more bedrooms in 2021, with an average of 4. Big homes carry big electrical loads: ducted air con, several living areas and a lot of lighting. We check that the switchboard and circuits can cope, add circuits where needed and move lighting to LEDs to ease the load.
Upgrades for owners who've paid off the house
In 2021, 41.4% of homes were owned outright and the median age was 44. Plenty of owners have been in their houses for years and are now upgrading: replacing old switchboards, adding safety switches, installing solar and putting in better outdoor lighting for the garden and driveway. We can plan the jobs together so the switchboard is done first and everything after it connects to a board with room to spare.

Questions we get asked
I'm buying at the marina. Who do I set up power with?
Homes at the marina are supplied through a renewable energy microgrid, and its operator, ORRE, acts as both distributor and retailer. That means most residents set up their account with ORRE rather than Western Power or Synergy. For the wiring inside your home, including solar, batteries or an EV charger, we can help.
Is an older switchboard ready for a battery?
It depends on spare space and safety switch coverage. The suburb's name was approved in 1974, and boards in long-established streets may need upgrading before a battery is connected. We'll inspect yours and outline the changes, if any, before work begins.
