Energy and climate tech company Enlighten (CEO Youngho Lee) announced on the 21st that it will participate in the '2025 Automotive Parts Industry ESG·Carbon Neutral Expo' held at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul from the 23rd to the 25th.
At this exhibition, Enlighten will introduce a digital-based distributed energy strategy that can simultaneously achieve carbon neutrality and energy cost reduction, focusing on its flagship solution, the 'RE100 Self-Use Solar Subscription Service'.
The RE100 solar subscription service is a method in which companies install solar power facilities on factory roofs or idle land and use the electricity produced by these facilities for 20 years at a fixed unit price that is cheaper than KEPCO's electricity rate. It is characterized by the fact that it can be introduced without initial investment costs and management/operation burdens.
This service can be applied to small and medium-sized factories of less than 1MW, and it also provides functions for controlling and utilizing surplus power, which can increase energy efficiency and self-consumption rate. Enlighten is securing stability in facility operation and efficiency in energy management at the same time based on its own patented technologies such as ▲power generation management system ▲abnormality detection technology ▲remote monitoring and control system.
Already, various manufacturing companies, including Lotte Global Logistics (logistics center 7.6MW), Daedong Mobility (factory 3.0MW), and Nexplex (factory 1.3MW), have introduced the service and are confirming practical effects such as reduced electricity bills, greenhouse gas emissions, and RE100 implementation.
For example, if a 1MW solar power facility is introduced to a 2,500-pyeong factory, the following effects can be expected: ▲Reduction of annual electricity usage by approximately 1,248kWh ▲Reduction of greenhouse gases by 573 tons ▲Reduction of annual energy costs by 215 million won.
“Carbon neutrality is no longer a choice but a survival strategy, and especially in the manufacturing industry such as the automotive parts industry, which uses a lot of energy, highly effective solutions that can be applied immediately are needed,” said Lee Young-ho, CEO of Enlighten. “Through this exhibition, we will present specific ways for even small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to achieve RE100 without burden.”
