Exide Technologies GmbH Shares Key Insights on Designing Optimal Energy Sites and Long-term Partnerships at Industry Presentation

Serge Arbes, Business Director for Exide Technologies GmbH's Energy Solution Division, presented practical considerations in designing best sites. He introduced Exide Technologies as a company with over 137 years of history and discussed its evolution from an acid battery manufacturer to focusing on lithium solutions since 2020. The company's revenue is €1.5 billion with operations across ten Western European sites producing 20 gigawatt hours annually. Key points included site location advantages like reusing existing connection points to save time due to the long lead times associated with high voltage transformers and authorizations. Site layout should consider accessibility, wind direction, snow accumulation prevention, space for service vehicles and cranes while ensuring solid foundations are crucial given heavy equipment involved such as containers weighing up to forty-two tons each which require careful handling during installation processes especially when converting old industrial areas into new ones where soil conditions may pose challenges if not assessed beforehand properly before starting work onsite itself altogether finally leading towards successful project completion overall eventually achieving desired outcomes effectively efficiently without unnecessary delays interruptions along way ideally speaking ultimately benefiting all stakeholders concerned positively significantly indeed undoubtedly so!
