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.
The energy transition is driving new technical solutions – all aimed at using energy more intelligently. At Holtab, we develop solutions that address the challenges of today and anticipate the needs of tomorrow.
“In close dialogue with our customers, we combine proven technology with innovation,” says Peter Borgström, Development Manager at Holtab.
Data-driven analysis and modern technology are important tools for energy efficiency. Holtab uses the ABB Ability Energy Manager cloud system to not only achieve its own sustainability goals, but also to help customers optimise their energy consumption.
As Head of Innovation, Mohamed Ezzo works to ensure that Holtab is at the forefront of new products and business models in the electricity market. “My task is to promote Holtab’s intrapreneurship,” he says.
