LS Electric Builds Solar-Linked Energy Management Solution for Ace Bed

Eumseong and Yeoju factories to save 1.5 billion won in annual electricity costs
Achieving a 60% renewable energy conversion rate
Equivalent impact to planting 550,000 pine trees

LS Electric has built a solar-linked energy management solution at Ace Bed's sites, supporting Ace Bed's implementation of RE100 (100% renewable energy).

On the 13th, LS Electric announced that it had completed the construction of an Energy Management and Integration System (FEMS) linked to solar power generation facilities at Ace Bed's Eumseong and Yeoju factories, and held a completion ceremony the previous day.

The completion ceremony, held at Ace Bed's Eumseong factory, was attended by Ahn Seungman, Executive Director at Ace Bed, Jeon Byungha, Director at Ace Bed, and Park Woobeom, Senior Executive Director at LS Electric, along with other officials from both companies.

The completed solar power generation facilities were installed on the rooftops of 13 buildings at the Eumseong factory, covering an area of 20,385 square meters (about 6,166 pyeong), and on the rooftops of 6 buildings at the Yeoju factory, covering 6,616 square meters (about 2,001 pyeong). Their capacities are 4,483 kW and 1,460 kW, respectively, for a total of 5,940 kW.

With the newly installed facilities, Ace Bed will use 7.62 GWh of renewable energy annually for factory operations. Through this, the company expects to save 1.5 billion won per year in electricity costs, and its renewable energy conversion rate is expected to reach about 60%. In particular, this project will reduce carbon emissions by 3,617 tons per year, which is equivalent to planting approximately 550,000 pine trees.

Ace Bed plans to use FEMS, a smart management system for improving energy efficiency, to monitor electricity consumption by facility in real time and secure optimal energy operation efficiency. In particular, by introducing a self-consumption-type solar power system, the company will prioritize the use of self-generated electricity and trade any surplus power on the electricity market.

LS Electric's FEMS is a core solution that systematically monitors energy usage patterns to achieve both energy savings and cost optimization in the manufacturing sector. It is characterized by easy integration with existing facilities and the ability to provide customized solutions that comprehensively take into account customers' power system characteristics and financial conditions.

"By adopting LS Electric's solar-linked energy management solution, we have made significant progress in implementing RE100," said Ahn Seungman, Executive Director at Ace Bed. "Just as we have built trust with consumers as a leading brand in the premium bed industry, we will also take the lead in ESG management."

"Following Volvo Group Korea last year, we are pleased to contribute to the implementation of RE100 in Korea's manufacturing sector by building a solar-linked energy management and integration solution at Ace Bed's Eumseong and Yeoju factories this year," said Park Woobeom, Senior Executive Director at LS Electric. "We will continue to take the lead in establishing RE100 sites and further solidify our position as a company that leads the smart energy solution market."

Meanwhile, LS Electric previously built a solar-linked energy management and integration solution at Volvo Group Korea's Changwon factory last year. The solar facilities at the Volvo Group Korea Changwon factory were installed on the rooftops of 13 buildings, covering a total area of 15,556 square meters (about 4,700 pyeong), and produce up to 5.8 GWh of renewable energy annually.
