Situation
A cold storage facility located in one of Melbourne’s Northern suburbs was experiencing extremely high electricity bills. Cold storage businesses are energy intensive and renewable energy systems are a perfect addition to an overall energy management strategy.
Action
Epho was called to analyse and design a system to address this bill issue. As with previous projects Greenwood Solutions was commissioned to install the 440 kW system and this was achieved on time and on budget.
Outcome
The Cold storage facilities energy needs have now been supplemented by renewable energy, creating a huge reduction in expenses for the business via the output and also contributing to reducing HVAC costs through the insulating effects of the solar panels.
