Energy Storage
Improving Energy Autonomy and Resilience in Industrial Operations
Project
Kalchschmidt GmbH & Co. KG operates a wood and concrete production site with high and variable energy demand. To increase energy independence and reduce grid electricity purchases, the company implemented an energy storage system supplied by Sunbit and Pramac.
In addition to maximizing self‑consumption of renewable energy and significantly enhancing energy autonomy, the system also provides a reliable emergency power supply, ensuring continuous operation even in case of grid outages. This capability allows the plant to maintain internal consumption during critical situations, strengthening operational resilience.
With this solution, Kalchschmidt can reduce grid dependency, mitigate exposure to energy price fluctuations, and benefit from a reduction of grid electricity withdrawals of up to 70%. The project contributes to long‑term operational stability and supports the company’s sustainability goals.
