Reduction opportunities by supplier

Schneider Electric Australia

4,350 t

Specify SF6-free MV switchgear and request EPD-backed low-carbon variants; consolidate skid designs to reduce steel and copper mass.

Supplier commitment: Net zero across value chain by 2050; SBTi validated targets; publishes EPDs for most switchgear ranges

Prysmian Australia (Olex)

3,680 t

Switch suitable feeders from copper to aluminium, optimise cable schedules to cut over-length waste, and return drums and offcuts to closed-loop copper recycling.

Supplier commitment: SBTi validated 1.5°C target; publishes cable EPDs

Cummins South Pacific

3,304 t

Specify HVO-compatible gensets and commissioning on renewable diesel to cut commissioning-stage Scope 1 and client Scope 3.

Supplier commitment: Destination Zero strategy; 2030 facility emissions targets; HVO-capable engines available

ABB Australia

2,944 t

Prefer amorphous-core and high-efficiency transformers, and request EPDs at tender stage rather than post-award.

Supplier commitment: Carbon neutral own operations by 2030; SBTi validated; EcoSolutions labelled product range

Vertiv Australia

2,280 t

Select lithium-ion over VRLA where cycle life justifies it, and specify high-efficiency eco-mode UPS to cut client operational emissions.

Supplier commitment: Science-based targets set for Scope 1, 2 and 3; efficiency-rated product portfolio

NHP Electrical Engineering Products

2,106 t

Request supplier-specific emissions data to replace spend-based estimates — currently the lowest data quality in the inventory.

Supplier commitment: Australian distributor; sustainability reporting emerging, limited product-level carbon data

Supplier commitment: Australian manufacturer; local supply shortens freight leg materially versus imported units

Legrand Australia (Cablofil)

1,550 t

Specify high recycled-content or EAF-route steel containment — a shift to EAF steel could cut this line by roughly 40%.

Supplier commitment: SBTi validated targets; extensive EPD library across containment range

CommScope Australia

1,008 t

Pre-terminated factory assemblies reduce on-site offcut waste; request product carbon footprints for major SKUs.

Supplier commitment: SBTi validated near-term targets; product carbon footprint data available on request

How these numbers were produced

Supplier identities reflect the major electrical equipment manufacturers and distributors actually used for prefabricated data centre power and data infrastructure in Australia.
Annual volumes and spend are modelled estimates based on Prime's project mix (Vantage Tullamarine 64MW, AWS 063/064, MEL07) and typical equipment content per MW of critical load. They are not extracted from Prime's accounts payable ledger.
Cable and containment use physical cradle-to-gate intensities (3.2 t CO2-e per tonne copper cable; 2.5 t CO2-e per tonne galvanised steel). Remaining categories use spend-based EEIO factors of 0.26–0.32 kg CO2-e per AUD.
Spend-based estimates carry ±40% uncertainty. Replacing them with supplier-specific Environmental Product Declarations is the single highest-value data improvement available.
Supplier climate commitments listed are publicly stated positions and should be re-verified before being quoted in a tender submission.
