A family-owned livestock farm in the Netherlands is transforming its future by leveraging a PV+ESS project to trade energy on the grid’s imbalance market.
The farm is thriving, but the owner aspires to more than just successful farming, he aims to farm sustainably. The owner augmented his sustainability efforts by installing the POWEROAD ESS, capable of storing up to 215 kWh of solar energy, which optimally utilizes excess solar energy by trading it on the grid’s imbalance market. Through continuous data analysis and strategic trading, POWEROAD ESS not only generates revenue but also contributes to grid stability, setting a precedent for other farmers in the Netherlands to invest in sustainable energy practices. This project exemplifies the intersection of traditional farming wisdom and innovative renewable energy solutions, paving the way for a more sustainable future in agriculture.
