An ABB manufacturing plant in Florence, South Carolina, now meets 80% of its electricity with power from a nearby solar array. The site has been operational for 47 years.
The initiative aims to lower environmental impact while also improving financial performance and operational resilience. Such sustainability efforts can align with profitability and help separate business growth from limitations of the traditional power grid.
Beyond the 840-kW solar installation, which occupies three acres adjacent to the plant, the location has implemented numerous energy efficiency upgrades. The facility also redirects over 90% of its operational waste away from landfills through a waste-to-energy program that converts non-recyclable material into usable energy. All cardboard, wood, and metals are sent to recycling facilities.
To manage energy use, the plant utilizes the ABB Ability Nsight energy monitoring platform that employs more than twenty real-time monitors to pinpoint energy waste. It has also integrated ABB INTEGRA Supervisory Building Control to automate and optimize systems that consume significant power.
The approach at the Florence site focused on targeted improvements informed by data, rather than comprehensive equipment replacements that can disrupt production and require substantial investment. This strategy demonstrates how older industrial facilities can be updated to support cleaner energy, greater resilience, and improved long-term operational performance.
The Florence location is among the most recent ABB sites to reach a corporate Mission to Zero milestone by meeting or surpassing specific targets for energy efficiency, emissions, and waste reduction. The broader corporate program combines digital energy solutions and renewable power with a goal of achieving net-zero operations by 2050.
