Farms are an essential driving force in the energy transition. Many agricultural businesses generate their own renewable energy through large solar installations and even small wind turbines. But when feed-in tariffs turn negative, systems are frequently shut down, wasting clean, locally produced energy that could otherwise be used or stored.

Smart energy management with an EMS

A smart Energy Management System (EMS) allows you to optimise energy consumption on the farm. Solar and wind energy generated during the day can be used directly for business processes or stored in a battery. The stored energy can be used at night or at times when energy costs are higher. This offers several advantages:

• Maximise your own consumption: Use more self-generated energy directly on the farm.
• Solution for peaks and troughs: Prevent generated energy from being lost due to negative feed-in tariffs.
• Cost control: Reduce dependence on the electricity grid and manage energy costs more effectively.
• Reliability: Ensure a more stable and sustainable energy supply, even during peak consumption or grid failures.
