Powering Tea Production with Renewable Solar Energy

Project details

At Spenomatic, we are committed to transforming industries with sustainable energy solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. This 2.4MW solar installation, spread across two plants, is a testament to how clean energy can revolutionize tea processing and manufacturing.

Project Overview

βœ… System Size: 2.4MW Solar PV across two plants βœ… Energy Generation: Over 5GWh of electricity per year, supplying 17% of total power needs βœ… Objective: Transition to renewable energy, reducing carbon footprint and operational costs

Optimizing Tea Processing with Solar Power

Tea processing is an energy-intensive operation, requiring a constant, reliable power supply for withering, drying, and extraction. To meet these demands, a custom-engineered solar system was integrated to: πŸ”Ή Enhance Energy Independence β€“ Reducing reliance on the grid while ensuring uninterrupted operations. πŸ”Ή Seamlessly Integrate with Other Renewable Sources β€“ Works alongside hydropower, biogas, and steam energy to form a comprehensive clean energy mix. πŸ”Ή Deliver Cost Savings β€“ The system is expected to generate financial savings of $300,000-$400,000 per year, significantly lowering electricity expenses. πŸ”Ή Cut Carbon Emissions β€“ Preventing approximately 2,000 tonnes of COβ‚‚ emissions annually, supporting long-term sustainability goals.

Impact & Sustainability Benefits

βœ… 60% of the facility’s electricity now comes from renewable sources, significantly reducing environmental impact. βœ… Strengthened energy security, ensuring stable and efficient production even during grid fluctuations. βœ… Leading the way in sustainable tea processing, setting a benchmark for eco-friendly industrial operations.

Brewing a Greener Future with Clean Energy

This project demonstrates how solar energy, combined with other renewable sources, is shaping the future of tea production. With a strategic focus on efficiency, cost reduction, and sustainability, this initiative is paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient industry. β˜€οΈ Looking to make your operations more energy-efficient?
