Robotic Dairy Farm

  • Location: Gippsland, VIC, Australia
  • Study Duration: Summer 2024
  • Farm Details: 320-350 Cattle Dairy Farm

A Gippsland dairy farm cut energy bills by 40% and kept its robotic milking systems running through a weeks-long regional outage—all thanks to PHNXX’s resilient renewable energy system. See how it endured extreme weather and delivered uninterrupted power!

The Challenge:

The farm in Gippsland faced high energy demands due to its automated robotic milking systems and required continuous power, which contributed to monthly energy costs around $3,000. The farm needed a reliable, scalable energy solution that could support operations while minimizing downtime during storms and regional power outages.

The Solution:

PHNXX installed its renewable energy system on the farm, which was strategically placed on a 7-degree slope without the need for ground preparation. The system provided uninterrupted power during a 2-3 week regional outage and endured extreme weather conditions, including 150 km/h wind gusts, without any issues.

The Results:

  • 40% Energy Bill Reduction: The system reduced the farm's energy bills by 40%, saving approximately $1,200 per month.
  • Uninterrupted Power Supply: The system maintained power during a regional outage, ensuring the continuous operation of robotic milking systems.
  • Robust Weather Resilience: The system withstood extreme weather conditions, including high wind speeds, demonstrating its durability in harsh environments.
