01 / THE CHALLENGES
With an annual energy consumption of approximately 499 MWh and substantial operational costs, BTP faced high electricity expenses that impacted both finances and sustainability goals.
High electricity demand
The centre used approximately 499 MWh of electricity annually.
Operational fit
The solution needed to support conferences, exhibitions and daily activity.
THE SYSTEM AT WORK
From site to useful energy
Site assessment
Converts sunlight into clean electricity.
Tailored design
Upgraded infrastructure moves energy safely across the site.
Delivery and care
On-site generation helps reduce reliance on the grid.
02 / THE SOLUTION
DS Energy collaborated closely with BTP to devise an optimal system solution, ultimately installing a 99.75 kW solar system comprising 210 Astronergy CHSM60N(DG)F-HC-475W panels . This system was strategically designed to align with the centre’s energy usage patterns and complex tariff, delivering an estimated 145.5 MWh of clean energy annually . DS Energy’s solution was tailored to support BTP’s operational needs while offering flexibility for future energy expansion. By offsetting a large portion of the centre’s power needs, the solar installation contributes significantly to their sustainability goals.
