Keeping Chickens Cool in the Desert Heat

Haala Energy is an EPC contractor specializing in commercial scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar-diesel hybrid projects in Saudi Arabia. The company provides turnkey solutions to help clients reduce and control energy costs including planning, engineering design, procurement, construction, and O&M services.

Haala Energy has been given the task to integrate solar PV with an existing 5MW diesel power station to reduce fuel consumption and gen-set maintenance costs. The plant operates 24/7 and supplies chicken hatchery facilities. The factory runs in island mode with the provision of grid connection in future. The aim is therefore to maximize yield generated from renewables while maintaining the plant’s continuous and reliable power supply. Both Haala energy and the plant operator can also benefit from remote equipment access, control, and data acquisition through ComAp’s WebSupervisor.
