"Iconic Australian snack food maker Arnott’s has switched on a major solar and
battery storage system that will help slash the carbon footprint of its iconic
biscuit range, including the much beloved Tim Tam.
Arnotts on Monday officially unveiled the large-scale solar and battery storage
system at its Huntingwood biscuit factory in New South Wales, which produces
more than half of its total volume of biscuits, including other Australian
favourites like Shapes and Jatz.
The 44,000-square-metre facility is now topped with a behind-the-meter rooftop
solar installation consisting of 9,000 solar panels that are expected to
generate between 6 and 7 gigawatt-hours of clean electricity each year.
Complementing the solar array is an 4.95 MW / 11 megawatt-hour (MWh) DC battery
system which is designed to further reduce the facility’s reliance on the
electricity grid, mitigate peak energy charges, and ultimately deliver lower
overall costs for the company."
