Addressing Energy Reliability
& Providing Significant Financial
& Environmental Benefits
A multinational leader in cable connectivity solutions faced continuous power outages and blackouts that impacted their production processes and equipment. Located in a highly industrialized area, the company serves major car manufacturers in the region.
The Challenge
Despite being located in an advanced industrial zone, the company experienced frequent micro‑outages and inconsistent energy supply. This led to significant losses due to production waste and damage to both electronic and mechanical equipment. The root cause was the increased energy demand in the region, which strained the local power infrastructure.
Our Solution
PRODENSA Energy conducted a thorough review of the company’s energy demand and supply issues. We recommended a comprehensive solution involving a 660 kWp solar energy system paired with state‑of‑the‑art TESLA batteries, providing a robust backup of 2000 KW / 2236 kWh.
The solar generation system, compliant with local regulations, required approximately 2800 m² for installation. It was designed for low voltage at 440 or 480 V and included a voltage stabilization system. The entire setup is connected to the national grid.
Financial Plan
The initial investment for the system, close to 3 million EUR, was financed with the help of PRODENSA. The arrangement was for the company to use the savings generated from reduced energy costs to cover the asset’s cost. After 10 years, the customer can choose to buy or refinance the system at any time.
- Reliability Consistent energy supply eliminated micro‑outages.
- Cost Savings 38% reduction in energy costs, translating to 8% annual savings.
- Sustainability Adoption of solar energy solutions aligned with sustainable practices.
- No Initial Investment The entire system is financed by PRODENSA and partners, reducing the financial burden on the company.
Outcome
This solution effectively eliminated the issues related to micro‑outages and inconsistent energy supply. Additionally, the total cost of energy was reduced by nearly 38%, with savings used to repay the financing. Without any initial investment, the company benefits from expected annual energy savings of at least 8%, while also eliminating production waste and equipment damage.
This business case also demonstrates PRODENSA’s capability to deliver innovative solutions that not only resolve critical operational challenges regarding energy quality but also provide significant financial and environmental benefits.
