Energy Intelligence

What Energy Intelligence does

Energy Intelligence Pty Ltd is an Australian energy consultancy and accredited Embedded Network Manager (ENM) founded in 2008 by Mardi Trezise and David Regenspurger, headquartered in Hawthorn, Melbourne. The company operates across the National Electricity Market (Victoria, NSW, Queensland, South Australia, ACT, Tasmania) and has extended into Western Australian embedded networks. Its core offering is the end-to-end design, build, and management of embedded electricity networks within multi-tenanted properties such as shopping centres, office buildings, residential complexes, retirement villages, and mixed-use developments. As an accredited exempt seller, ENM, and NMI Service Provider, the company purchases electricity in bulk, on-sells to tenants at site-specific tariffs, manages compliance with AER guidelines and AEMO's MSATS system, and integrates distributed energy resources including solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging infrastructure.

The underlying platform combines smart interval metering (15–30 minute reads), sub-metering with remote reading, NMI management, and a customer/tenant portal for account self-service. Beyond embedded network operations, Energy Intelligence provides strategic energy procurement, contract management, consumption monitoring, bill validation, and network tariff optimisation for commercial and industrial clients. Renewable Solutions and Electrical Infrastructure services — including solar microgrid design, BESS, LED lighting, HVAC controls, thermal imaging, metering upgrades, and high voltage work — extend the offering into hardware-led project revenue. Notable outcomes include Australia's first grid-connected urban battery at Melbourne Connect, a 900kW solar PV installation at Bendigo Marketplace generating over 1.2 million kWh annually, and $143,000 in procurement savings for a 5 GWh/year South Australian C&I client.

The business model combines recurring streams — electricity on-selling margins, ENM fees, and procurement advisory retainers — with project-based revenue from renewable installations and electrical infrastructure work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; commercial tenants operate on no lock-in contracts with monthly billing. Distribution is sales-led, anchored by direct engagement with property owners, developers, and asset managers, supplemented by the embedded network itself as a distribution channel to downstream tenants. The company is privately held and founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional investors.

Revenue model

1. Electricity On-selling (Embedded Network Model): Energy Intelligence acts as an exempt seller/embedded network operator, purchasing electricity in bulk from the grid and on-selling to tenants within embedded networks. Revenue is generated through margin on the difference between bulk purchase price and retail on-sale price to tenants. This covers multi-tenanted properties such as shopping centres, office buildings, residential apartments, and mixed-use developments.
2. Embedded Network Management (ENM) Fees: As an accredited Embedded Network Manager (ENM), the company charges fees for managing network exemptions, facilitating on-market transitions, and ensuring compliance with AER guidelines. From 1 December 2017, all network exemption holders must appoint or become an ENM when a customer within an embedded network enters into a market retail contract.
3. Energy Management & Procurement Services: Provides energy procurement, consumption monitoring, network tariff analysis, and contract management services to commercial and industrial clients. Revenue includes fees for strategic procurement advice, bill validation, and tariff optimisation across retail, commercial, and mixed-use assets.
4. Renewable Energy Solutions & Infrastructure: Delivers solar PV system design and installation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), EV charging solutions, LED lighting, and HVAC controls for embedded networks and commercial buildings. Revenue from project-based installation fees and ongoing energy management of installed systems.
5. Electrical Infrastructure Services: Provides energy audits, preventative maintenance, thermal imaging, metering upgrades, project management, high voltage solutions, and arc flash management for embedded networks and commercial properties.

Direct peers

• Active Utilities: Australian embedded network operator and ENM providing on-market electricity supply, metering, and energy management to multi-tenanted properties. Directly comparable as an accredited ENM and exempt seller in the same Australian market.

Broad incumbents

• Alinta Energy: Major Australian energy retailer with an embedded networks division serving apartment buildings, retirement villages, and commercial sites. Overlapping capability but part of a much larger portfolio including generation and retail across multiple fuel types.
• AGL Energy: One of Australia's largest energy retailers with embedded network operations and a substantial distributed energy / solar / battery business. Comparable on ENM and energy management but at far greater scale and across broader customer segments.
• Origin Energy: Major Australian energy retailer with embedded network and solar/BESS offerings. Comparable on multi-tenanted electricity supply and DER integration but operates as a broad incumbent across generation and retail.
• EnergyAustralia: Large Australian energy retailer with embedded network services and commercial/industrial energy solutions. Overlaps with Energy Intelligence's exempt seller and procurement business but at significantly larger scale.
• Shell Energy Australia: Wholesale electricity retailer and embedded network operator backed by Shell. Comparable on commercial/industrial electricity supply and embedded networks, but operates at scale within a global integrated energy portfolio.

Emerging players

• Reposit Power: Australian DER / battery aggregation and VPP platform enabling behind-the-meter storage optimisation. Comparable on the DER integration, NMI management, and VPP participation aspects of Energy Intelligence's renewable solutions.
• SwitchDin: Australian DER orchestration and energy management software platform for solar, batteries, and embedded networks. Comparable on the software/integration layer supporting multi-asset DER within customer sites.

Regional players

• Enova Energy: Community-owned Australian energy retailer operating in New South Wales with embedded network and renewable offerings. Comparable model (retail + DER) but limited geographic overlap with Energy Intelligence's national NEM coverage.
• Pinergy: Irish smart energy provider operating embedded networks and smart metering for multi-tenanted properties. Strong functional comparison on sub-metering and embedded network operations, but serves a different geography.
