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.
Wind and Solar Plant Esperance
The Project
Since early 2022, the city of Esperance has been able to get its electricity from a JUWI project that combines wind and solar energy together with a battery storage system. The solar park has a capacity of 4 megawatts, while the two wind turbines each have an output of 4.5 megawatts. This total of 13 megawatts of power is used in combination with the lithium-ion battery storage and the existing gas generators. The Esperance solar and wind farm is JUWI's fourth hybrid project in Australia and can cover around half of the Western Australian city's annual electricity requirements.
Hybrid power solutions offer the potential to significantly reduce fossil fuel use in off-grid environments.
Hybrid Projects far away from the Public Power Grid
By implementing hybrid projects, self-sufficient energy systems can be developed that can also guarantee a sustainable and secure power supply outside of the public power grid. In such projects, photovoltaic and/or wind power plants are supplemented with storage units. These plants can then be intelligently integrated into existing island networks using a software developed by JUWI – the "JUWI Hybrid IQ". Through the integration of renewable energies, cities and companies can not only reduce their CO2 footprint, but also minimize their energy costs.
