A word from Nick Whyte, Whyte Citrus CEO
THE SITUATION:
Whytes Citrus experienced constrained margins due to high monthly electricity costs.
COMPLICATIONS:
The impending Eskom tariff increases, and more approved for the next 3 years.
SOLUTION:
A changed tariff structure, to purchase electricity at cheaper rates seasonally.
Consolidated electrical supply points:
Buy cheaper electricity in bulk.
Form consolidated generation centre, reduced Capex and Opex .
Consolidated demand profile for reduced maximum demand costs.
Eliminated admin and service fees by closing unnecessary accounts.
Installed solar PV system to supplement the electricity supply at a favourable ROI.
NEXT STEPS:
Active energy management! Shifting anytime loading - such as pumping - outside of peak, expensive electricity hours.
Results!
Tariff savings, demand savings, solar savings, load shifting savings, and a better understanding of how to manage energy effectively!
