Earth Day 2025: Our Power, Our Planet

Earth Day 2025: Our Power, Our Planet

Every year, Earth Day invites us to reflect on the way we live, work, and use resources — and how those choices shape the world we leave behind. This year’s theme, Our Power, Our Planet, feels especially relevant to the work we do at Silver Asset Services.

As embedded network managers, our role sits at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and everyday life. We look after the behind-the-scenes systems that supply power to multi-residential and mixed-use developments across Australia. And while most residents don’t think twice about how their electricity gets to the switch — we do. Because how that energy is generated, delivered and managed has an impact far beyond the meter.

Supporting smarter energy from the ground up

We work closely with developers and strata managers to design, manage and operate embedded energy networks that are not only efficient — but sustainable.

That includes providing the option for solar energy infrastructure in new developments, enabling EV charging capabilities from day one, and designing network layouts that support smarter long-term energy outcomes. These aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re increasingly becoming standard expectations from owners and residents who want their homes to reflect a more conscious way of living.

And because we manage everything from metering to billing, we’re in a position to ensure that these features are more than just boxes ticked — they’re integrated, reliable, and actually used.

A more responsible approach to embedded networks

There’s a lot of debate in the energy industry around embedded networks, and rightly so. While they offer real benefits in terms of efficiency and cost, it’s essential that they’re managed properly — with transparency, clear communication, and a long-term view.

At Silver Asset Services, we’ve built our approach around those values. We don’t just flick the switch and disappear. We take the time to work with each building, its strata committee and managers, and its residents to ensure they understand how their network works, what options are available, and how we’re supporting more sustainable energy usage behind the scenes.

We also understand that residents can’t choose their energy provider in an embedded network. That makes it even more important that we take our responsibility seriously — delivering not just reliable service, but fair pricing, helpful support, and ongoing improvements where possible.

Real-world impact, one building at a time

Sustainability doesn’t always mean sweeping change. Often, it starts with small decisions made early — like ensuring your building is wired for future growth, or choosing an energy partner that can actually support those ambitions.

For our clients, that might look like:

• Installing solar infrastructure during construction to reduce common area electricity costs

• Adding EV charging stations that work with the building’s existing energy load

• Switching to smarter meters that encourage more mindful energy use

• Streamlining billing and compliance, so strata managers can spend less time chasing paperwork and more time supporting their communities

These changes add up. And as the demand for greener living grows, buildings that embrace these features early will be better placed to meet resident expectations — and stay compliant with tightening energy regulations.

Looking ahead

This Earth Day, we’re proud to be part of the broader shift toward sustainable strata energy management. And we know we’re just one part of the puzzle — but we also know that embedded networks, when managed well, can make a genuine contribution to Australia’s clean energy future.

So whether you’re a developer designing your next project, or a strata manager looking for a more forward-thinking energy partner, we’re here to help you take the next step.

Because how we power our communities matters.
