Zwart Techniek ’ s Reliable Energy Solutions Power Mainova
MD Jim Craig shares how Zwart delivers reliable energy solutions for critical industries , ensuring uninterrupted power for partners including Mainova .
As the world increasingly relies on data and renewable energy , there is a growing need for bespoke , decentralised energy solutions to ensure the availability of critical infrastructure .
To keep that vital power flowing , Netherlands-based power provider Zwart Techniek delivers integrated energy solutions for critical industries in Europe and Africa , such as data centres , hospitals and airports .
Ensuring resilience and reliability
“ We ’ re seeing two mega trends at the moment ,” Zwart ’ s MD Jim Craig explains . “ One is the thing that everyone ’ s talking about , AI . For us , where that has an impact is in driving an incredible growth in data centres and the power they require to run the servers and cooling installation .
“ We also expect to see more and more data centres investing in their own primary power infrastructure , such as gas generation , to reduce their dependency on local electricity networks .”
As AI and the number of data centres to enable it grows , Jim emphasises that the demand for reliable power solutions will grow through to 2030 and beyond .
This leads into the second trend Jim foresees arising and relying on solutions from Zwart : the global shift away from fossil fuels as part of the energy transition . he says . “ Data centres , hospitals and large industrial plants cannot shut down on a windless , cloudy day . This will drive investment in energy storage and microgrids that deliver the 24 / 7 energy reliability and stability this critical infrastructure requires .”
Providing Mainova with reliable energy solutions
Zwart ’ s solutions exemplify its commitment to supporting its clients so that they then can deliver the highest level of resilience , reliability and uptime to their customers . One such customer is Mainova , which is among the largest regional energy suppliers in Germany .
“ Our work with Mainova is about being customer focused and having the flexibility and the creativity to work to develop solutions together ,” Jim says . “ Mainova knows it can rely on us not just when an installation is in place and delivering power but throughout the whole process – through design , build , commissioning and maintenance . Standing alongside them as a partner is something that they should be able to expect .”
This sentiment is echoed by Juan Bono , Construction Director for Mainova WebHouse , who highlights how Zwart ’ s solutions sync up with Mainova ’ s sustainability agenda .
He explains : “ It was through Zwart that we got a lot of expertise in terms of use of SCRs and engines that would also be able to work with synthetic fuels . They have been able to coordinate a considerable package from conception through construction and now commissioning at this stage .”
“ As we transition to renewable fuels , there is a great need for power when there is no wind or sun ,”
