Hesperia has entered a 3-year funding arrangement with the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), which has the overarching goal of accelerating the transition to Reliable, Affordable, Clean Energy for 2030 (RACE for 2030). The CRC platform matches Commonwealth funding to industry contributions to leverage academic problem-solving on highly relevant, practical topics brought to the CRC by the industry partners.
Hesperia’s Rivermark and Roe Highway Logistics Park (ROE) developments have been nominated as case studies for the Pathways to Net Zero Precincts project, part of RACE for 2030, hosted in WA by Curtin University.
At Rivermark, researchers will track efforts to support households in transitioning to 100% renewable-energy lifestyles and report on lessons learned. Hesperia hopes to find opportunities for Rivermark residents to contribute to the research and to be kept up to date on findings.
At ROE, the focus is on rethinking industrial estates as energy precincts, aiming to deliver renewable energy outcomes and provide grid support.
Hesperia actively seeks opportunities to participate in research projects that advance sustainability efforts. By participating in these collaborative initiatives, we hope to contribute to innovative solutions and gain valuable insights that will enhance our own sustainability practices. This allows us to stay at the forefront of technology advancements and demonstrates our commitment to driving meaningful progress in sustainability in our developments.

“RACE for 2030 mission it to drive innovation for a secure, affordable, and clean energy future.
With more than 70 industry and research partners, we are an independent and focused collaboration platform that brings together experts to solve Australia’s key challenges in the energy transition.”
