Future Group Travel, a tourism investment
company in Egypt.
Overcoming dense cloud cover and the lack of ready infrastructure, Mantrac successfully delivered an advanced PV power solution for Future Group Travel. It reduced the company's fuel consumption by 30%.

Bringing Future Group Travel the power to outshine the competition
Future Group Travel wanted to decrease its dependability on gensets and implement a more advanced, sustainable and cost-effective solution. The company awarded Mantrac the project for its reliability and industry reputation.
Since there was no government power plant nearby, Mantrac proposed an independent 1,500 kW solar power station. This would be combined with the gensets to create a hybrid system, equipped with ManConnect® for remote monitoring, analysis of CO2 emissions and diesel fuel savings. Over 4,000 PV modules were entirely ground-mounted, making use of available space without adding infrastructure. Two power control units would be made to manage the entire system, connected by nearly 20 km of AC and DC cables combined. To overcome the risk of power interruptions, Mantrac installed a cloud forecasting system that increases the system reserve to the diesel gensets in unfavourable and cold weather conditions. A camera system was installed as a safety measure to trigger alarms for operators.
The solution brought 30% savings for Future Group Travel, reducing their energy expenditure to the amount they used to spend on a single genset.
