At a flower and landscaping farm in Quito, Ecuador, located at an altitude of 2,600 meters, spring season marks the peak of planting activity. Thousands of flowers, multiple greenhouses, and expansive landscaped areas all rely on stable and uninterrupted electricity to thrive.
However, at this high-altitude location, the local power grid is unstable. Unexpected outages in the past have caused greenhouse lights to go out and irrigation systems to fail, putting the entire flower cultivation schedule at risk.
Challenges Faced by the Farm
Greenhouse operations: Lighting, ventilation, and climate control systems are essential. Power outages can cause significant damage to flowers.
Continuous irrigation needs: Water pumps and irrigation systems must operate without interruption, especially during dry periods, to prevent plant wilting.
Temporary power for landscaping and construction: Electrical tools and equipment are required on-site to ensure projects stay on schedule.
