THE BRIEF
Problem We Helped Solve
With a strong commitment to sustainability, Downer wanted a cleaner solution than relying on 24/7 diesel generators to power their off-grid site offices through construction of a weighbridge in Auckland, New Zealand. With generators producing significant CO2 emissions, noise pollution and requiring ongoing refuelling and servicing, Downer was seeking a smarter approach that could also help them meet their ESG goals.
Alternatives Assessed
The only other alternative for this site was a diesel generator running 24/7, which would also not enable Downer to leverage available solar.
THE POWERSHIFT SOLUTION
LX Series mobile batteries are a compact system with a wide range of applications across civil and commercial construction, site sheds, remote offices, events and more.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Throughout the project, the hybrid system delivered a highly efficient and sustainable off-grid power solution, dramatically reducing generator use, emissions and operational costs while maintaining reliable power for the site.
