20 years
Energy service agreement
Microgrid-as-a-Service, zero capex
Proposed project scope
- 2.4 MW of solar PV with battery energy storage across the materials recovery facility.
- 20 ViaGen pavement-based energy harvesting modules capturing waste energy from site vehicle movements.
- A single microgrid control system balancing generation, storage and site load in real time.
Value to the customer
- Microgrid-as-a-Service with zero capital outlay — one provider, one maintenance contract, one bill.
- 5.3 GWh a year displaced against a delivered grid price of 26.6c/kWh, a 13.4% cut in energy cost.
- Islanding capability keeps the facility running through grid failures and outages.
