Wine producers face significant energy costs, which account for a notable portion of total operational expenses. Additionally, electricity demand charges can be a major component.
South Australian wine producers are also experiencing increased pressure to meet environmental goals and lower Scope 2 emissions. Industry bodies, like the South Australian Wine Industry Association (SAWIA), are encouraging energy demand management. This reflects a broader industry shift towards more responsible operational practices.
P4B Solar's new service provides several strategies to address these challenges, including detailed energy audits, power factor correction, demand response programs, and battery energy storage systems. These offerings are intended to provide both financial savings and environmental benefits.
The service begins with an in-depth energy audit to assess a producer's consumption profile. This initial step identifies the primary contributors to energy use and reveals opportunities for improving efficiency and implementing cost-reduction measures. This applies whether the winery is operating off of grid-tied solar systems, which are directly linked to the energy supply network, or a hybrid model. Requiring a little more investment up front, the hybrid model connects to the energy grid and provides off-grid battery storage solutions. This is especially useful during power outages when wineries require consistent electricity to maintain climate control equipment.
The service focuses on how to optimize this kind of battery energy storage. Suggestions could include adapting 'load shifting,' which allows producers to store power when it is inexpensive and use it during peak demand periods. This method provides a path to cost reduction, even for facilities with limited space for a full solar array.
P4B Solar has experience working with South Australian wine producers. Client feedback from companies such as Winston Wine Group and Kilikanoon Wines notes the firm's professional and reliable service. This support covers the whole process, from initial analysis through post-installation maintenance.
Local producers are making progress in environmental stewardship. For example, Nepenthe Winery in the Adelaide Hills has achieved B Corp status and set a goal to be powered by 100% renewable energy by the end of 2024. P4B Solar's service offers a way for other local wineries to achieve similar sustainability milestones.
