Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) store electricity for use at a later time and can be integrated with on-site solar generation. It doesn’t matter what your solar infrastructure currently looks like, a BESS can help you maximise the value of your energy. There are a number of benefits to installing a BESS, such as managing consumption from the grid during peak periods, reducing energy costs, and unlocking revenue opportunities through Demand Response. Whatever your business goals are, a BESS may be the solution you need.
Solar infrastructure and a BESS are two of the solutions that form a Smart Energy Hub, which can help you unlock even further value from your energy efficiency projects. A Smart Energy Hub allows your business to consolidate your business’ energy projects into one solution designed to optimise energy supply, generation, energy management, and demand flexibility to meet your business objectives.
Installing a BESS can help you optimise the value of your business energy by allowing your business to unlock the potential revenue opportunities of participating in a Demand Response program. Demand Response programs involve large energy users – who have access to flexible loads and on-site generation assets or storage – lowering energy use from the electricity grid when requested during periods of high demand. Depending on which program you choose to participate in, your business can access opportunities for additional revenue and help to maintain national electricity grid stability.
If your business had previously been unable to participate due to not being able to power down or switch-off generation when required, installing a BESS can provide the flexibility to participate in Demand Response programs. Or if you already have installed a BESS and don’t have access to demand response programs we can help.
Leasing your premises does not need to be a barrier to accessing low-cost renewable energy.
