"Kristal Les 92" Ltd. is an established enterprise specializing in timber processing, with over 30% of our activity currently dedicated to the production of wooden tops for doors and staircases, as well as blanks for wooden joinery. This type of activity is energy-intensive, as it involves operating machinery for cutting, milling, gluing, and sanding, as well as securing constant climate control in the facilities for proper raw material drying and storage. This project envisions an investment in a photovoltaic power plant (PV) with an installed capacity of 75 kWp combined with an energy storage system (ESS) of at least 80 kWh. The primary need for this investment stems from the high and unpredictable costs of electricity and the company’s strategic goal to reduce its carbon footprint. The production process demands high electricity consumption during daylight hours, but also during the night (for security, minimal lighting, and temperature-maintenance processes). Relying solely on grid energy makes the company vulnerable to market fluctuations. Owning a PV plant without storage would generate surpluses during weekends or midday hours that could not be fully utilized. The system for storing surplus energy produced during the day will allow its use during dark hours or peak consumption times. Last but not least, our core processes will be secured against power interruptions, which frequently occur in the region. The investment in the integrated PV + ESS system will have a direct, positive, and long-term effect on our operations. By optimizing our own consumption and utilizing stored energy, we anticipate a significant reduction in electricity costs from the grid, which will lead to a lower cost price for our final products. The additional activities are housed in a separate building, ensuring that the energy generated is used solely for them.
