Pelkmans-Vervoort

Family-owned poultry farm in Turnhout with a strong focus on innovation & green energy.

The Pelkmans-Vervoort farm reduced their carbon footprint by investing in 960 solar panels and LED-lighting for their stables. To improve self-consumption of their locally produced solar energy, they invested in an Octave battery system, installed by their preferred partner Eco Technics. On top of that, the family is a pioneer in Belgium: they will help stabilizing the Belgian grid via the joint Octave-Yuso offer and capture additional revenues on the imbalance market.


Key facts:

  • Two Octave indoor Battery Cabinets
  • Installation by Eco Technics
  • Optimal Control : self-consumption and imbalance arbitrage via Yuso
