Sector: Manufacturing · Location: Berrechid, Morocco · Installed capacity: 801 kWc

The Story

The plant draws heavily during shifts and drops sharply between them. Short, violent current peaks were inflating the demand charge more than the energy charge, so simply adding panels would not have addressed the biggest line on the bill.

What Did NETIS Do

The study modelled the load curve at quarter-hourly resolution before any equipment was specified. The array was sized against the base load, and peak shaving was designed alongside it so that grid connection and demand management were engineered together rather than bolted on afterwards.

The Results

Both the energy charge and the demand charge fell. The site now has a measured, quarter-hourly view of its own consumption, which it did not have before.
