Preparedness and business continuity are becoming increasingly important issues for companies in a more complex and electrified society.

To keep up with the fast pace of grid upgrades, Dala Energi chose a prefabricated primary substation from Holtab. The result? Shorter lead times, lower costs – and higher quality, according to project manager Lars Jonsson.
Holtab in Tingsryd has taken an important step to strengthen both its own operations and local energy preparedness. The company has built a microgrid – a local power system with integrated backup generation – enabling the factory to operate in off-grid mode and maintain production even if the main power grid goes down.
As dependence on electricity continues to grow, higher demands are being placed on solutions that can maintain operations even when the power grid is disrupted. When Holtab built its own microgrid in Tingsryd, the goal was not only to secure its own operations but also to gain experience that could help others.
