Factors that influence whether your business site is suitable for Shell Energy’s BESS Solution

Can you install a BESS at your site?

There are a few factors that influence whether your business site is suitable for Shell Energy’s BESS Solution including:

  1. Is your site in NSW, Qld or SA?
  2. Is your site load at least 3GWh per year?
  3. Do you have at least 110m2 of available site space? (that’s the equivalent of just five car spaces)

If you answered yes to these three questions, your business could be missing out on a guaranteed revenue stream that a BESS can help you unlock.

Frequently asked questions

On-site battery energy storage systems, or ‘behind-the-meter BESS’, could be the solution that empowers your business to improve its on-site energy productivity and unlock potential revenue from market revenue streams and meet its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments. Through battery design, installation and energy asset structuring, Shell Energy can help your business optimise and maximise the value that your on-site battery delivers.

RERT and FCAS are mechanisms used by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to maintain electricity supply and power system reliability. Under these programs your business may be asked to reduce its consumption from the grid through activities such as switching to energy stored in your BESS during peak grid demand periods, or rapidly dispatching power to the grid during a frequency deviation, to ensure its safe operation. In return, your business may be eligible for payments for participation in these programs.*

Smart Energy Hubs integrate and optimise energy supply, generation, energy management and demand flexibility to meet your business objectives. Smart Energy Hubs optimise the entire energy ecology of your business, combining the right mix of solutions for more significant energy efficiency gains and reduction of costs.

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) may help your business unlock greater energy value, especially when combined with solar power generation. BESS, in tandem with solar, can benefit your business, as well as how to overcome a few of the most common barriers to investment.

Battery technology helps to firm up energy supply when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing, adding important reliability to a decarbonising electricity grid. Be a pioneer in the energy transition and utilise the capabilities of a battery.
