EPM5500 Fundamentals of Project Management - Victoria University
In this Major Assignment, assume that your Project Management Consultancy has been appointed by the Energy Consortium Corporation (ECC) to prepare a Project Charter; and if accepted will be commissioned to prepare the Project Management Plan based on the approved Project Charter. You are given a total budget of $500 million and a target of 250MW energy capacity.
ASSIGNMENT
The closure of Hazelwood power station raised concern if it will affect Victoria's electricity supply. ABC News (2016) reported that closing of Hazelwood would change the supply of energy but not necessarily threaten Victoria's energy supply. It also claimed that in the short-term, the closing of Hazelwood would most likely see Victoria import more energy from other states - most likely from NSW and Queensland black coal-powered stations. In anticipation of the closure of other coal-fired stations, assumed that the Victorian Government has decided to bring forward their plan to construct renewable energy facilities in Victoria in anticipation of the closing of other coal-fired power stations which may adversely affect Victoria's energy supply. Assume that the Victorian Government and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) are calling for Expression of Interest to construct and manage a renewable energy facility of any form - wind, solar, hydro, thermal etc. Economic, social and environmental sustainability will be the main theme of this development and they expect that these principles will be embedded in your proposal. All construction materials used must be recycled or from sustainable sources.
