Embedded networks · New developments
Maximise project value. Reduce CapEx
An embedded network is a commercial decision, not just a utility one. Run competitively, it can fund infrastructure, lower long-term pricing and strengthen the asset for decades. We run that process on your side.
Request a feasibility review
- Infrastructure contributions across embedded network services
- Lower long-term utility pricing through bulk purchasing
- Flexibility and long-term value for the Owners Corporation
- Solar, EV charging and future technologies designed in early
Why this matters now
One provider proposal is not a market test
Embedded networks moved from utility decision to commercial decision
The structure you choose can materially affect project value. Yet many developments still rely on a single provider proposal, leaving infrastructure contributions and commercial terms largely untested.
Competition is what unlocks the value
Utilizer established the independent procurement model for embedded networks. Our full-market process creates genuine competition among providers and consistently secures stronger commercial outcomes than direct negotiation.
Timing decides how much is on the table
Engaging during feasibility, concept design or DA stage lets the market influence infrastructure design, avoid costly rework and maximise provider contributions. Late engagement limits competition and shrinks the commercial opportunity.
How we run it
An independent procurement process, end to end
Our fee is paid by the successful provider and disclosed in writing, with no direct cost to your project. The fee is the same whichever provider is selected, so our advice stays independent and focused on the strongest commercial outcome.

What developers ask us first
Nothing directly. Our fee is paid by the successful provider and disclosed in writing. Because the fee is the same whichever provider wins, our recommendation has nothing riding on the outcome.
The earlier the better. During feasibility, concept design or DA stage, the market can still influence infrastructure design and providers can still compete on contributions. The later you engage, the less competition can do for you.
A broker is transactional: they find a supply agreement and move on. A consultant runs the whole commercial picture, from market assessment through to handover, and stays accountable for the outcome. We disclose what we earn at every step.
We support projects across every Australian state and territory and in New Zealand, covering electricity, natural gas and LPG.
