1MW Cogeneration System Secured for NewCold Truganina Site

Evo Energy Technologies has secured the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for a major energy upgrade at NewCold’s advanced cold storage facility in Truganina, Victoria. The project involves the installation of a 1MW natural gas-fired cogeneration system, designed with built-in capacity for future trigeneration through an ammonia absorption chiller.

The new system will generate on-site electricity and thermal energy to support NewCold’s operations, significantly reducing reliance on the grid and improving overall energy resilience. With a total system efficiency of 87.7%, the installation is expected to offset over 2,200 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

NewCold is a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics for food and pharmaceutical supply chains. This project supports their sustainability goals and operational efficiency while laying the foundation for future cooling expansion using the same energy source.

The plant is also future-fuel capable, offering the ability to transition to alternative fuels such as Biomethane, LNG or Hydrogen as they become commercially viable.

This award recognises Evo Energy Technologies’ continued leadership in delivering high-performance energy systems across Australia’s industrial and logistics sectors.
