Battery energy storage systems provide flexible, on-site energy that can be charged from the grid or from on-site generation assets such as solar PV. Whether integrated into a broader energy strategy or deployed as a stand‑alone solution, BESS helps public sector and commercial organizations strengthen resiliency against grid outages and gain greater control over operational costs while supporting broader operational and sustainability objectives where applicable.

By storing energy during low‑cost periods and using it strategically during peak demand or high‑price intervals, organizations can reduce demand charges, avoid exposure to peak pricing, and improve overall cost predictability. In addition, we can help you participate in energy markets—enabling your battery assets to support grid stability and generate revenue.

Learn how battery storage increases the value of on‑site energy generation by adding flexibility, improving cost control, and supporting operational resilience.

Watch our video to see how combining battery storage with technologies like solar PV allows you to store excess daytime generation and use it when it delivers the greatest benefit—helping your organization get more from its existing energy infrastructure while supporting broader sustainability objectives.

Benefits of battery energy storage systems

  • Lower your energy costs by storing electricity and using it during peak demand or high‑price periods — helping reduce both kWh energy charges and kW demand charges.
  • Improve budget stability through more predictable energy use and clearer forecasting of operating expenses.
  • Free up cash flow by reducing operational energy costs and enabling reinvestment in core priorities.
  • Unlock new revenue opportunities by participating in eligible energy programs — such as placing battery assets into demand response markets or other grid-support mechanisms that compensate organizations for providing flexibility.
  • Enhance energy resiliency with stored on‑site power that helps maintain operations during grid disruptions.
  • Support your organization’s sustainability objectives by maximizing the use of on‑site renewable generation and reducing reliance on grid electricity.
