Solutions tailored to each sector
Agricultural sector
At Sparkling Projects, we understand that arable farmers, fruit growers, and livestock farmers are in a complex position due to the various restrictions and regulations imposed by the government. The cost price is increasingly under pressure due to rising electricity prices, particularly network costs.
Optimizing large solar PV installations
When a large solar PV installation is in place that feeds a significant amount of energy back into the grid, this creates uncertainties in your business case. The grid is becoming increasingly congested, and during periods of high solar radiation, it can even become overloaded, meaning you’ll have to shut down the system at these times. These costs are often listed on the bill as "imbalance costs."
We look for ways to ensure that the generated solar energy is not wasted or sold at an unreasonably low price during these moments. We analyze your energy profile and identify the differences between peak consumption and peak generation. To bridge these discrepancies, we explore various revenue models:
-
Making energy usage as flexible as possible.
-
Shifting energy consumption periods for flexible energy users.
-
Battery storage.
-
Redirecting energy to nearby businesses.
Fruit growers and farmers
Are you a fruit grower or farmer storing cooled products? Then you're facing the same challenges as the refrigeration sector. Cold storage and freezer facilities must optimize their energy consumption due to high electricity costs while maintaining product quality. Investing in modern refrigeration technologies, sustainable energy sources, and smart energy management systems can reduce operational costs and lower the ecological footprint.
Business case and subsidies
In addition, we ensure that the business case is thoroughly calculated and look for suitable subsidies for your project. Our goal is to help you implement sustainable and profitable energy solutions, so you can focus on what you do best: farming.
