In the March 2026 issue of the Energ\u00e9tica XXI<\/strong><\/a> magazine, Mat\u00edas Gotor Scasso, Director of Business Development at the Eiffage Energ\u00eda Sistemas Group<\/a>, analyses the evolution of industrial self-consumption towards more hybrid, manageable and flexible energy models, driven by the integration of energy storage and advanced management systems.<\/p>\n\n

The article addresses some of the trends that are redefining the design of energy systems in industry. These include the impact of high renewable penetration in the electricity system, the increasing volatility of energy prices and the progressive electrification of industrial processes.<\/p>\n\n

In recent years, industrial self-consumption has experienced significant growth, driven by the deployment of photovoltaic installations aimed at reducing energy costs. This model, based on the alignment of solar generation with daytime consumption, has proven to be technically and economically viable for numerous manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n\n

However, the current energy landscape is marking a turning point. As outlined in the report, systems based exclusively on photovoltaic generation are beginning to reveal limitations stemming from the inflexibility of solar production in the face of increasingly variable industrial consumption patterns.<\/p>\n\n

The role of energy storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The article also analyses the role played by energy storage in this new phase of industrial self-consumption.<\/p>\n\n

The integration of batteries allows generation and consumption to be decoupled, shifting energy over time and optimising demand curves. In addition to enabling load shifting (an energy management strategy that involves shifting demand from peak to off-peak hours), storage enables new operational strategies that improve energy efficiency in industry:<\/p>\n\n
