Industrial Self-Consumption: a viable option for businesses.
Industrial Self-Consumption may be viable if we are able to match the solar generation curve with the load curve, in spite of the ‘sun tax’ established by the Government.
Let’s take a look at a real case study of Industrial Self-Consumption conducted by Energes in the province of Seville for a factory from the agri-food sector:
A stable electricity consumption means that there is enough load to absorb the photovoltaic production:
The installation costs have been significantly reduced, partially compensating for the negative impact of the “sun tax”. A summary of the project figures is shown below:
|
CONCEPT |
MAGNITUDE |
| Power plant: |
110 kwp |
| FV theoretical production: |
158.807 kwh |
| Annual consumption installation: |
772.661 kwh |
| Daytime consumption: |
257.217 kwh |
| Electricity savings Consumption: |
15.962 €/año |
| Toll theoretical support: |
2.335,91 € |
| LCOE: |
0.05 €/kwh |
| TIR PROYECT: |
12,11% |
In short, we can see that the price of production is less than 30% of the average price per kWh for the industrial sector during the hours of solar power generation.
