Electric furnace and continuous casting line electricity costs reduced by up to 28%!
Reducing electricity costs for the electric furnace steel manufacturing industry with self-consumption solar power, protecting the future of high-energy industries. Utilizing subsidies and accommodating zero initial cost models.
Comparison before and after implementation Before implementation: Electric furnace, continuous casting, finishing process → High electricity costs After implementation: Same processes + rooftop solar for daytime power self-consumption → Approximately 28% reduction in electricity costs, increased corporate value due to CO₂ reduction
basic information
【Product Features】 Feature 1: Stabilization of Management through "Fixed Costs" for Electricity Bills Minimizes the risk of fluctuations in electricity prices and supports long-term management planning. Feature 2: Design Accommodating High Load Equipment Covers daytime peak power for electric furnaces and large rolling mills with solar energy. Feature 3: Zero Initial Cost Introduction with Subsidies & PPA Model Utilizes national and local government subsidies, allowing for a zero equipment cost start with a PPA.
