The Challenge
Oversight on Remote Battery Storage Project
While working on a standalone battery energy storage project, SunCode Energy faced the challenge of efficiently monitoring and managing the project remotely while keeping stakeholders informed throughout.
Key Details:
- Urban location with limited site access
- Need for continuous progress monitoring
- Multiple stakeholders requiring updates
- High travel costs for site visits
Managing the project remotely was complex. The team struggled to stay on top of on-site activities, and the lack of real-time monitoring slowed down quick decision-making, wasting time and resources.
