The Carroll Cotton Company have been in business in the fertile Liverpool plains region, New South Wales, Australia, for more than two decades. In that time, the business has grown to meet global demands for their quality product.

This successful cotton ginning enterprise had reached a crossroads – invest in a new cotton ginning plant to accommodate rising demand? Or do they stay at the same level?

In business, there is no such choice and that meant the plant was built. This was to deal with the huge amount of crop that would be processed – around 10% of Australia’s entire yield.

But with a new plant comes other requirements. Carroll Cotton Company had everything covered of course – but what about powering the plant?

A decision had to be made while infrastructure to the grid was upgraded to meet requirements – or big losses could be incurred.
