In the heart of Canberra, Villaggio Sant’ Antonio is redefining aged care — combining comfort, compassion, and now, energy efficiency. With independent living, residential care, a dementia-specific ward, respite, and day care services, Villaggio is dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for our seniors.
Challenge
Like many aged care providers, Villaggio was facing rising energy costs. With round-the-clock heating, cooling, and lighting, energy bills were steadily climbing—and impacting the bottom line.
Solution
That’s when Villaggio turned to Northquest Capital. After a thorough evaluation, Northquest Capital delivered a tailored solution—installing Tier 1 LED lighting and solar PV system across the facility.
And the best part? — no upfront capital required. Thanks to a Northquest Capital’s managed Lighting-as-a-Service agreement, Villaggio began enjoying cash savings from “Day 1”.
For the solar solution, Northquest Capital implemented a Power Purchase Agreement. That means Villaggio now pays a discounted rate for energy generated on-site—lower than their previous electricity bills. And after 15 years, they own the system outright.
Outcome
The benefits don’t stop there. With a full six-year managed service on lighting, and a 25-year warranty on solar, Villaggio can count on peace of mind and predictable savings for decades to come.
Michael Giugni, General Manager said, “Northquest Capital were extremely and responsive. When our staff raised concerns about brightness at reception, they installed dimmers—at no extra charge. That’s service you can count on.”
For Villaggio Sant’ Antonio, it’s not just about better care—it’s about smarter infrastructure. And with Northquest Capital, they’ve made the switch without compromise.
