Case Study: a large water authority in New South Wales achieves quieter, lower-cost off-grid tunneling with Ampd Energy's Enertainer ESS

a large water authority in New South Wales cuts generator footprint 10x with Ampd Energy

For a large water authority in New South Wales, a tunneling project faced significant challenges with its reliance on diesel generators. The high fuel consumption led to increased costs and project delays, while constant noise disrupted workers and the local community. The customer turned to Ampd Energy for a more efficient power solution.

Ampd Energy implemented its Enertainer Energy Storage System (ESS), which paired battery storage with a smaller, optimized generator. This solution drastically cut fuel usage and emissions, reduced the generator footprint to one-tenth of its original size, and made the site 32 times quieter. The team at Ampd Energy successfully provided reliable power for the tunnel boring machines, leading to a 30% reduction in operating costs and a 90% drop in CO2 emissions.
