#The Energy Challenge Facing Clubs & RSL Venues

As a community-focused hospitality venue, North Ryde RSL faced the challenge of rising energy costs while maintaining a seamless experience for its members. Like many licensed clubs, their facilities operated daily with limited room for operational interruptions.

The executive team was committed to improving long-term energy resilience, reducing grid dependence, and making an environmentally responsible decision—without causing disruption or delays.

“We needed to know that the install would be smooth and that our members wouldn’t be affected.”

Joe Kelly, CEO, North Ryde RSL
