SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR COMMITMENT

Competitive solar energy through power purchase agreements (PPA)

Companies and private consumers in many regions worldwide have to cope with an unstable or highly expensive energy supply due to the unreliability of the grid or even the total absence of such a power supply. This involves, especially for companies and industries, a heavy disadvantage in terms of competitiveness on the global market. Paused production lines in manufacturing industries, interrupted cold chains in food factories or electrical breakdowns in office buildings are just a few examples how power cuts can cause substantial losses for the commercial sector and constitute a serious threat to their commercial success accordingly. Many companies rely on a diesel-based energy supply and suffer from high and unpredictable fuel and maintenance costs. Utilising solar (photovoltaic) technology is much more eco-friendly and cost-effective. The contractual framework of a power purchase agreement (PPA) offers all advantages of clean energy to long term predictable low prices with limited or no upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX) costs for the company.

meeco to enter the clean energy market of Madagascar

The low electrification rate in the rural area, where only 4% of the population has access to electrical energy, is one of the main burdens impeding the economic development and the establishment of a sustainable education and healthcare system in such remote areas. Aiming to substantially improve this situation and ensure energy access for 70% of the country’s population until 2030, the government has set the target to

meeco promotes energy revolution in Africa

To stop these deplorable conditions in some parts of the world, 193 Member States of the United Nations approved the Paris Agreement in 2015. Within this agreement, 17 so-called “Sustainable Development Goals” have been set aiming to end poverty, ensure prosperity for all humans and combat climate change. Gathered under the name Agenda 2030, one of the main targets is to enhance the worldwide deployment of affordable, renewable and sustainable energy. Especially the south of Africa misses a well-developed energy infrastructure. Still, 37 African states with 620 million people lack access to reliable electricity supply. The growing economy and the associated increasing power demand cannot be satisfied with the current energy production. To meet this challenge, off-grid or weak-grid solar energy solutions provide a great chance to reliably supply those countries and their population with eco-friendly, clean power. The transformation to a green economy is an important step in this process.

meeco to install sun2roof solar systems on German traditional specialised yarn factory

Saving electricity costs, gaining energy independence and contributing to an eco-friendly power supply in production processes is an aim more and more German companies pursue. The German 200 year old specialised yarn factory Gruschwitz Textilwerke AG has now decided to make further progress in pursuing this target together with meeco. meeco will install two roof-mounted sun2roof solar energy systems on the company’s production facilities and will connect these with meecos real-time energy monitoring system sun2see.

Safari lodge in Kenya to benefit from clean solar energy and storage

The establishment of a reliable electricity supply represents an enormous challenge for off-grid tourist destinations in Africa such as remote Safari lodges. Located in the Olderkesi Wildlife Conservancy in Masai Mara, Kenya, the Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp is currently nearly exclusively powered by energy produced from diesel gensets due to a missing connection to the electrical grid. In order to reduce the dependence on these cost-extensive and polluting energy sources, meeco will install a 50 kWp sun2rope mounted solar energy solution in combination with a sun2safe energy management system at the isolated and exclusive Safari lodge. sun2rope offers an efficient and fast way to deploy and enable the generation of solar energy as the modules are mounted on special long-life ropes, which are attached to pillars. Thereby, no substructures disturbing the unique landscape are needed, and a smooth, quick and reliable installation is ensured.

meeco enters clean energy market in Saudi Arabia with new local partnership

With up to 2,800 kWh/m2 per year Saudi Arabia has one of the highest solar radiations worldwide. Recognising the tremendous potential of solar energy in Saudi Arabia, we have entered into negotiations with Saudi Arabian entrepreneurs several years ago. Nationally subsidised power prices and the huge oil reserves in the country though have limited the incentive to invest into clean energy solutions such as photovoltaic until yet.

Marriott Hotel Guyana to be equipped by meeco with sun2live/sun2roof solar energy & sun2safe XL storage system

The Marriott Hotel Guyana in Georgetown will soon benefit from an eco-friendly, sustainable and cost-efficient energy supply. We have concluded an agreement on a solar power installation with the leading five-star hotel in Guyana to reduce its dependence on expensive diesel and shave off its energy costs accordingly.
