Just 40 km north of Adelaide, Lindham Piggery is a large-scale farming operation with continuous, high-energy demand. Central to its operation is a high-powered feed mill, which presents large and irregular peak loads. Historically, the mill was supplied by diesel generators, but the peaks regularly exceeded their stable operating range, resulting in inefficiencies, breakdown risks and escalating fuel costs.
On the other side of the property, the piggery relied on a single-phase grid connection, sufficient for light supply but incapable of running the mill or broader site. With fragmented power sources and growing energy demand, the business needed a complete site-wide solution: robust, expandable, and capable of replacing round-the-clock generator use.
The engineering goal was clear:
MyEnergy designed and delivered a fully containerised, climate-controlled power station, built off-site for accuracy and quality control, then trucked to site for rapid installation.
The new system has consolidated the entire site under one reliable supply. The feed mill's peak loads are now absorbed by the inverter and battery system, avoiding generator trips or downtime. Diesel generators, once the primary source of power, now serve only as a backup safety layer, running rarely.
Benefits realised:
Results: Reliable Power, Minimal Generator Use
By replacing continuous generator use with a containerised off grid power system, Lindham Piggery has achieved a robust and future-ready energy solution. The site now operates smoothly under one integrated system, with generators relegated to backup. This project demonstrates how engineered off grid systems can solve the challenges of peak industrial loads, delivering reliable power to large-scale agricultural operations where both diesel and grid connections fall short.
