Asketorps Gård is located just outside Skövde. The farm's business consists first and foremost of egg production with free-range hens. The other part of the business consists of organic plant cultivation that is conducted according to KRAV's rules. There is also a popular farm shop where, in addition to eggs, you will also find many other locally produced goods.
Solar energy is already being produced at Asketorp and now they are investing further in "green energy" and installing an energy storage facility.
- We have always been concerned about our farm, our environment and our animals. This means that we want to be at the forefront with a gentle approach. We invested in solar energy seven years ago and now it feels natural to take the next step. We are investing in energy storage for the future," says Magnus Bertilsson at Asketorps Gård.
The energy storage should primarily help to support the electricity grid.
In the long term, the energy storage can also be used to optimize energy consumption by cutting energy peaks and in a smarter way be able to control their consumption and use their solar energy at a later date.
On site from Provektor we have Tobias Zetterberg and Anton Lundin who carry out the installation from start to finish. Together they have pulled cable, assembled and connected the energy storage and are now approaching the end of the project. Work began in the spring of 2024 and is now in the final phase. The energy storage is expected to be commissioned in June.

- The investment that Asketorps Gård is making shows their commitment to keeping the facility modern and energy efficient, while helping to drive the green transition forward. Together with their existing solar plant, there are many opportunities for energy optimization, both in the short and long term. This is something that we obviously have in mind early in the project planning. Few doubt that energy storage is, and will be, a major significant part of our electricity grid in the future.
