Registered clubs are among the most energy-intensive venues in NSW: gaming floors, commercial kitchens, cool rooms and HVAC running close to around the clock. Zool Energy is a commercial energy partner for these venues: we fund, build, operate and guarantee solar, battery storage and EV charging under a single agreement, so a club board gets lower, more predictable energy costs without a capital request or a maintenance burden. We are a corporate partner to Clubs NSW and Clubs QLD.

A club's load doesn't look like an office. Demand is high, sustained and peaks at night and on weekends. That makes two things true: there is a large amount of energy cost to address, and getting the system sized and operated correctly matters more than the sticker price of the panels. A board evaluating solar is really evaluating a decade-long operating decision, not a one-off purchase.
| Question the board should ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who funds the system? | Determines whether the club needs a capital request or board approval for spend. |
| Who operates and maintains it, for how long? | A club needs the system to perform for years, not just be installed. |
| Who carries the performance risk? | If the installer walks away, the club owns the problem. |
| Is it sized to our actual load? | Oversizing exports cheap energy; undersizing keeps you buying at peak. |
| One counterparty or several? | "Who do we call in year 7?" should have one answer. |
Zool delivers under the Total Care model: no upfront capital outlay (fees apply), a fixed cost-per-kWh, and a term of 10 to 25 years during which Zool funds, builds, operates and guarantees the system. The club buys energy at a known rate; Zool owns the equipment, the maintenance and the performance risk. For a volunteer or member-elected board, that turns a complex capital project into a single operating decision that is straightforward to put to the membership.
The product stack is delivered end to end: commercial solar, battery energy storage (BESS), Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation, and EV charging, one partner, one agreement.
Zool has delivered for clubs including City Golf Club Toowoomba and Carina Leagues: real, named reference projects a board can ask about. As a corporate partner to Clubs NSW and Clubs QLD, Zool works within the channel clubs already trust.
Does the club need capital to go solar with Zool? No, under Total Care there is no upfront capital outlay (fees apply). The club pays for energy at a fixed cost-per-kWh; Zool funds and owns the system.
Who maintains the system? Zool does, for the life of the agreement. Monitoring, maintenance and performance are Zool's responsibility, not the club's.
Can Zool cover multiple sites? Yes, Zool delivers and operates multi-site portfolios under one agreement, with unified reporting.
Is Zool a NSW-only provider? Zool delivers commercial solar Australia-wide, with a priority focus on NSW, QLD and VIC, and channel partnerships with Clubs NSW and Clubs QLD.
Next step for the board: book a no-obligation site assessment, or upload a recent electricity bill and Zool will model the site.
