Ottosson färgmakeri: green energy and big savings with XOLTA's battery solution
Ottosson Färgmakeri, the world's leading manufacturer of linseed oil paint, has demonstrated how sustainable production and economic savings can go hand in hand.
CEO Gunnar Ottosson decided that the company's production should be powered exclusively by renewable energy sources to match the organic nature of their products. By combining XOLTA's BAT-80 energy storage solution with an on-site wind turbine and solar panels, Ottosson Färgmakeri can now produce, store, and use sustainable energy sources to power their production. This not only gives the company a strong green profile, but also significantly reduces energy costs by eliminating the need to purchase energy for production.
An inspiring solution
With over 30 years of experience in sustainable production, Gunnar Ottosson wanted the company's energy consumption to match its environmentally friendly values. By implementing XOLTA's BAT-80 battery solutions, the company has achieved self-sufficiency in green energy all year round. This has been both environmentally responsible and economically beneficial.
The solution
Solar cells and wind energy are important for solving the climate crisis, but the full benefits can only be achieved if the energy can be stored. By implementing XOLTA's battery solutions, Ottosson Färgmakeri has stabilized its energy consumption and ensured a more sustainable energy future.
The battery solutions create additional economic benefits through grid stabilization. By connecting the battery to grid stabilization, Ottosson Färgmakeri sells electricity when the grid is under the most strain and prices are highest. This is a win-win situation that benefits both the environment and the company's bottom line.
“The partnership with XOLTA has enabled us to align our energy consumption with our environmental values. This proves that sustainable production is not only possible, but also economically advantageous.”
– Gunnar Ottosson, CEO.
The future is green and economically sound
Ottosson Färgmakeri's collaboration with XOLTA is an excellent example of how companies can integrate green technology while achieving economic benefits. Their success is an example of how green initiatives do not need to be viewed as a cost, but rather as an opportunity to achieve savings through innovative energy solutions.
