Saft demonstrates the value of solar energy storage “behind-the-meter” for EXKAL’s industrial plant in Spain
EXKAL has installed two Saft lithium-ion (Li-ion) energy storage systems (ESS) “behind-the-meter” to optimize the utilization of an existing solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at its manufacturing facility in Northern Spain. The Intensium ® Mini systems have demonstrated the capability to achieve a 20 percent reduction in peak power demand from the local grid together with increased self-consumption of solar power. The net result is a reduction of up to eight percent in the site’s energy bills. EXKAL is Spain’s leading manufacturer of refrigeration systems and a key supplier to the refrigeration and retail sectors in Europe and Worldwide with a wide range of remote and plug-in cabinets.
