How customers in the plastics industry cut their energy costs
FION combines industrial batteries with intelligent control to cut typical load peaks precisely and generate additional revenue.
What plastics plants achieve with us on average
Autenrieth Kunststofftechnik
How a mid-sized plastics manufacturer in Baden-Württemberg benefits from a battery.
High load peaks & high grid fees
- Load peaks of up to 360 kW
- High grid fees
- Solar PV potential left unused
A battery sized for the site
- 184 kW / 180 kWh battery
- Intelligent control in place:
- Load peaks shaved & solar self-consumption maximised
- Additional revenue from the spot market
Measurable economic impact
- Around €33,500 in annual savings
- Of which up to €25,000 from lower grid fees
- Payback in under 4.5 years
How we deliver battery projects in plastics plants
We look at when load peaks occur: shift changes, tool changes, machines starting up at the same time, cooling in summer.
Not to a standard size, but matched to your load peaks, cycle times and the machinery you actually run.
The battery shaves load peaks and optimises solar use and power purchasing in the background, without production or maintenance staff having to step in.
When the battery is not needed for peak shaving, it automatically turns price swings on the power market into profit.
Why batteries pay off particularly well in plastics plants
In plastics plants, costly power peaks arise from typical everyday situations:
In plastics production, it is not just the kWh that counts. The kW peak matters too.
These are exactly the situations that make batteries economically worthwhile, and that is precisely where we come in.
