Unlock access to market based revenue streams such as Wholesale Arbitrage, Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), and the Reliability and Energy Reserve Trader (RERT) revenue streams.*
With Shell Energy’s BESS solution, you are boosting your business’ bottom line while helping provide grid stability in Australia’s energy transition, one battery at a time.
The best part of Shell Energy’s BESS Solution is that we really do it all. Our experienced team will design, supply, deliver, install, operate and maintain the BESS for you for a truly tailored experience.
All that’s left is for you to enjoy the revenue stream you have unlocked for your business.
There are a few factors that influence whether your business site is suitable for Shell Energy’s BESS Solution including:
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.
Shell Energy understands the complexity of implementing large-scale projects for business. We have successfully delivered multiple, complex on-site behind the meter battery projects, which means we know the most streamlined ways to make your BESS dream a reality.
For each BESS project, Shell Energy will consult with local authorities to ensure compliance with relevant standards, obtain all approvals, and train local emergency services on the battery technology and emergency procedures.
Gain access to energy engineers with a deep understanding of the energy industry who can tailor solutions to your business and help you prepare for your next steps in the energy transition. By installing a BESS, you can also unlock further opportunities for energy efficiency through a Smart Energy Hub.
Shell Energy and The GPT Group partnered on a BESS at Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. Central to the plan at Chirnside Park was turning the asset into a Smart Energy Hub that includes a 2 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery coupled with a 650 kilowatt (kW) solar array, supported by our HVAC Load Flex product. It is Victoria’s and The GPT groups’ first Climate Active certified carbon neutral shopping centre that has reduced site energy demand by 70% during peak periods.
Investing in a battery doesn’t have to feel inaccessible – we can help you start harnessing the benefits of a BESS.
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.
