The AKVA group has announced a partnership with Inseanergy to achieve the electrification of the Chilean aquaculture industry. Therefore, Chile's solar energy potential will be used for fish farming operations.
"Chile's solar energy potential is particularly promising for the aquaculture industry, and we are excited to explore this further," said Christian Gerardo Schäfer Oyanedel– General Manager in AKVA group Chile.
With the incorporation of hybrid battery systems, solar power plants, software, and control systems, Inseanergy, Kvernaland Energi and AKVA group will focus on aquaculture farming with minimal emissions.
To sum up, fossil fuels will be replaced with solar energy, reducing fossil fuel energy consumption. This will allow the company to consider new locations previously considered challenging due to reliance on gas tanks or diesel.
In this same line, Oyanedel noted: "The goal is to achieve better cost-effective and sustainable operations. This is a system of floating solar energy production that generates 100 % emission-free green energy."
"The solar power plant will work as a floating generator being able to produce as much as 290 kWh. In combination with a battery pack and water feeding, we can reduce the running time of the diesel generator by up to 90 % on a typical fish farm," he explained.
