The energy market is challenging companies and private households alike and demands a rethink when it comes to energy supply. Whether this involves radical energy management with intelligent software solutions or simple means of self-sufficiency – in this article we show how the industry is now approaching the topic of energy supply in a new way.
The next step in energy supply – photovoltaics without additional investment
A decentralized energy supply in the form of a photovoltaic system on the roof of your own warehouse or production facility has many advantages. On the one hand, every kilowatt hour generated in-house reduces energy costs and at the same time the dependency on future market developments. On the other hand, a significant contribution is made to climate protection. Companies with a consistent design of their solar systems can achieve a degree of self-sufficiency of up to 30 percent. Of course, companies with a very high but necessary electricity consumption, such as buildings with increased cooling during the summer months, will benefit the most. But there are also natural circumstances that play into the hands of companies – without any investment at all: The more hours of sunshine per year the surrounding area records, the higher the yield of electricity generated from solar installations. This is where a new contract model comes into play: PPA or Power Purchase Agreement. This long-term electricity supply contract between electricity producers and consumers covers all investment costs for a solar installation.
Another feature of PPAs is the possibility of individual contract adjustments. This means that companies can obtain sustainable, investment-free and calculable energy – without having to make their own investment, using the public electricity grid and tailored to their own requirements. This also makes it easier to comply with legal requirements.
The energy market is changing. Numerous new market models and opportunities are emerging in many respects, not least as a result of technological change, but also due to the growing awareness of the need to make a difference. So now is the time to rethink your company’s energy management from the ground up.
