Challenge
Sustainability and the Environment are very important to Coombe Fisheries, only sourcing product as far as possible from vessels that hold the Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme award. Large-scale recycling also takes place on site with all plastics and cardboard compacting on site and passed to local recycling plants.
Following the installation of Solar PV, Coombe Fisheries were looking for a quick-to-install solution, with minimal disruption that would help reduced energy consumption on site and their carbon footprint and meet their Carbon Emissions targets. The site was also having continual problems with brownouts, affecting key operations and productivity.
Solution
After accessing the site and the objectives of Coombe Fisheries of reducing energy costs and reducing CO2 emissions. We recommended an installation of our Voltage optimisation system.
Results
Following the installation of the Powerstar voltage optimisation system, brownout issues on the site were reduced. The unit was installed with minimal disruption to operations, reducing energy consumption on site by 14.0%.
