Hybrid power plants for industry & municipalities
With our hybrid solutions, you can save money and reduce your CO2-footprint
Globally, large industrial companies (in the mining sector, in the cement industry, etc.) often cover their energy needs via diesel, heavy oil or gas power plants. This exposes them to considerable fluctuations in electricity prices. The disadvantages are obvious: high fuel costs, a poor environmental balance and little planning certainty regarding the development of energy costs.

Self-sufficient energy systems remote from the public power grid
With our hybrid solutions, we offer you self-sufficient energy systems remote from the public power grid. JUWI is your expert for the construction of off-grid systems larger than one megawatt. Our customers come from a wide range of sectors, ranging from the mining sector to the cement or water desalination industry. Commercial and industrial clients belong to our customer base as do clients from a tourism or agricultural background.
Depending on your needs, we combine different energy systems such as photovoltaics, wind energy, battery or hybrid systems for diesel generators. Our experienced engineers plan customized systems that meet your exact needs. In addition, we work with local partners to strengthen the local economy.
Hybrid power solutions offer the potential to significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels in off-grid environments. At the same time, they reliably produce electricity at competitive prices. In such projects, solar or wind power plants are supplemented with storage units. These can then be intelligently integrated into existing island grids using the software "JUWI Hybrid IQ" which was developed by JUWI exactly for this purpose.
The topic of storing electricity from renewable sources is currently gaining momentum and will play an even more important role in the future.
Solar hybrid power plant Agnew Gold Mine
The project consists of a 4 MW Single Axis Tracking PV installation together with cloud forecasting and an advanced microgrid control system to enable integration with the mine off-grid network. Together with the thermal power station, being provided by EDL, the project supplys reliable electricity to the critical and non-critical loads of the mine site.
JUWI is pleased to be working with EDL as one of the largest off grid Independent Power Providers in Australia to deliver and integrate another landmark renewable energy system on a mine site in Western Australia.
As a leading global producer of sustainable distributed energy, EDL is pleased to be supporting Gold Fields’ Agnew Gold Mine through the development of a fully integrated hybrid energy solution that will improve reliability, reduce operating costs and reduce environmental impact.
This project is a great example of how to implement renewables into an existing minesite.
During their work, the team was challenged with taking an operating minesite off its existing grid connection and replacing it with a full hybrid solution. A staged, gradual approach was undertaken, and the results speak for themselves. Degrussa and Agnew will continue to be the benchmark of how renewables can be delivered on operating mine sites.
