Production comes first
How an installation's load sits alongside your lines, and what happens when production needs the headroom, is assessed with your electrician and confirmed in your agreement.
For building owners Factory
Sanctioned for every machine. Spare between shifts.
A works is sanctioned for every motor, compressor and furnace at once, and draws that hard only on a full shift with everything running. One locked room on that margin may support an installation. An assessment and your agreement determine suitability, responsibilities and payment.
For factories
The panel is big. The room next to it is empty.
Factories already have what most buildings lack: three-phase everywhere, a panel with spare ways, and an electrician who knows where the load goes. What they usually also have is a sanctioned load set for the day every line runs at once, a second and third shift that never draw it, and a store room off the shop floor that has been locked for years. The fixed charges cover the whole figure regardless.
Where the room usually is
A store room off the shop floor, the old quality lab or tool-room annex, a room in the office block that shares a wall with the panel room, or a plant-room annex. Factories rarely lack a room; they lack a room that locks, has cooling of its own and is kept clear of the process, and the assessment looks for that.
What the load does
Sanctioned for every motor, compressor, furnace and line running at once, and drawn that hard on a full shift with everything up. A works on one shift leaves the second and third spare; a works on three shifts leaves less, and the assessment says so plainly. The spare is the sanctioned figure on your bill minus your twelve-month peak, and a plant electrician usually knows it to the kilowatt.
The assessment confirms the supply, tie-in and cooling an installation needs, and what your room can support.
Eligibility
Questions to answer first.
What decides whether a room in a factory can be assessed for an installation, and what the assessment then checks on site.
Before the assessment
How many shifts do you run, and when is your twelve-month peak?
A works on one shift leaves more margin than a works on three. The spare is your sanctioned load minus that peak.
Is there a room off the shop floor that locks and can be kept clear of dust?
An installation needs a room around it: a door that shuts, cooling of its own and the process kept outside.
Does the panel near that room have spare ways?
The assessment looks for headroom for the tie-in an installation needs and a practical cable run.
What the assessment checks
- The metering point and the sanctioned figure on the bill against the twelve-month peak, read with your electrician
- Panel headroom and spare ways for the tie-in an installation needs, and the run from the panel to the room
- Cooling of its own: the shop floor cannot reject the installation's heat, so the room needs a unit that can, sized in the assessment
- Dust, oil mist and vibration: the room around the installation has to be a room and stay one
- Fire NOC currency
The general guide to the initial requirements is on the owners page.
Operating considerations
Running an installation in a factory.
Dust, heat and vibration
The shop floor cannot reject an installation's heat or keep dust out. The room needs cooling of its own and a door that stays shut.
Your electrician in the loop
Your own electrician can review the proposed tie-in, and visits are planned around shift changes.

Hosting model
Explore the hosting model.
The same illustration as on the owners page, opened at typical inputs for a factory. Its assumptions sit beside the result; the assessment and your agreement establish the actual terms.
Open the hosting model example
Indicative pods from your room and power inputs
1
1 × 10 kW pods, 14.4 kW at the meter of your 45 kW
Counted from your room count and available power only. Room size and cooling are context for the assessment; they do not confirm that equipment fits.
- Base payment assumed in this example
- ₹4.87 La year, ₹40,583 a month
- Additional payment at the modelled duty Modelled, not yet measured
- ₹7.2 La year, ₹60,000 a month
- Total in this example
- ₹12.07 La year, ₹1.01 L a month
- Rooms set the count: one pod per room that locks. Your load would carry 3 pods at 14.4 kW each at the meter.
- Without building cooling the assessment checks whether one 5 TR room unit per pod can be fitted. The estimate stands only if it can.
Assumptions in this example
- Base payment: ₹4.87 L per pod per year.
- Additional payment: ₹7.2 L per pod per year at the modelled duty, capped at ₹15 L to ₹18 L per pod per year.
- One pod per room that locks, and about 14.4 kW of spare sanctioned load per pod at the meter.
- Electricity is not in these figures. How it is metered and settled is confirmed in your agreement.
- Model version: host-yield-v1.
- An illustration of the hosting model, not a site approval or a promised payment.
Illustrative model, not a site-specific offer or measured earnings. It applies to hosting for others; an installation for your own work needs its own proposal.
Questions factory owners ask.
Does the installation interfere with our production load?
It uses spare sanctioned load on a separate tie-in. How it gives way if your lines need the headroom is assessed with your electrician and confirmed in your agreement.
Our shop floor is hot, dusty and noisy. Is that a problem?
The shop floor itself is not the place for it. It needs a room around it: a door that shuts, cooling of its own and dust kept outside. That is what the assessment checks.
Can our own electrician review the tie-in?
Yes, and we encourage it. Mention your electrician in the enquiry so the assessment can include them.
We run three shifts. Is there any spare?
Sometimes less than you expect. The spare is your sanctioned load minus your twelve-month peak; if the gap is too small for an installation, the assessment says so and tells you what would change it.
Property assessment
Start with your factory.
The form starts with “Factory” as the building type, and you can change it. A location and a short description are enough to start.
