Temporary battery-powered energy supply at Farm Frites

At Farm Frites, the fire detection system needed a permanently secured power supply — even in emergency situations. Although the grid connection was stable, it did not provide the level of reliability required when every second counts. A traditional backup generator was not a suitable option: the very low power consumption meant the genset would operate underloaded for long periods, increasing the risk of damage and reduced lifespan. That’s why Boldt proposed an innovative alternative: a high-capacity battery system as the temporary power source. No diesel,no running engines,no unnecessary fuel costs or recurring inspections.Just 100% guaranteed availability during critical events — with a minimal ecological footprint. In the Netherlands, battery systems are already widely adopted. In Belgium, the market is growing steadily, and Farm Frites is among the early adopters. For applications where sustainability, silence and flexibility are key, battery systems offer a fully fledged alternative — or a smart complement — to traditional generators. Make no mistake: conventional emergency generators remain extremely reliable. But with hybrid solutions like this one, you truly get the best of both worlds.
