Hubble Energy

When loadshedding and high-power costs threatened the viability of their salt manufacturing plant, Cerebos turned to Hubble’s High Voltage battery system.

With up to 30% of the cost of salt manufacture being electricity, and the plant needing to run at maximum capacity to keep up with demand, the solution needed to be economical and consistent.

After a year in the making, Hubble’s new power system is set to reduce Cerebos’s power costs, mitigate the impact of loadshedding and utilise the batteries to arbitrage the expensive winter peak electricity costs.

Cerebos partnered with Avianto Energy, who had experience at this scale and were open to finding economical solutions and sharing the process to that the Cerebos team could repeat the work at future salt work sites. They chose solar panels on a fixed East/West orientation, benefiting from the scalability of Hubble’s system.
