BESS Key Benefits
Flexibility to generate savings
• Demand Charge Reduction: Battery storage can help to reduce demand charges by shifting
energy consumption from peak hours to off-peak hours. This is done by charging the batteries
during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower and then discharging them during peak
hours when electricity rates are higher. Demand charges can represent as much as 50-70%
of your energy bill and reducing your peak demand charges could save 10-20% on your
energy costs.
• Time-of-use/Tariff Management: Charging the battery during off-peak hours and then discharge
it during peak hours can help reduce the amount of electricity used during peak hours, which
can lower the electricity bill. Battery storage can be a valuable tool for tariff management. It can
help to reduce costs for utilities and customers, and it can provide flexibility to the grid.

Provide Resilience
• Renewable Firming: Renewable firming is the process of ensuring that renewable energy
sources, such as solar and wind, can provide reliable and consistent power to the grid. A BESS
will smooth the power from solar or wind, providing a steadier output by discharging during times
of low generation from onsite renewables.
• Resilience/Back-up Power: In the event of a grid outage, a BESS can provide backup power,
especially when combined with on-site renewable resources.

Meet Electrification Needs

• The increase of electrification and expansion of Electric vehicles charging, and fleet management
requires more charging stations at increasingly higher power levels. These power requirements
often exceed a site’s existing utility service. A strategically deployed BESS can add the additional
power required, while also reducing site demand charges.

Participate in Income Generating Opportunities

• Ancillary Market Participation: Depending on location, there may be options to participate in
frequency regulation and wholesale energy.
• Demand Response: Where available, BESS allows for participation in Demand Response
programs from the utility to alleviate peak demand on the grid.

Support Islanding
• Microgrids: An integral part of your microgrid, a BESS can become your anchor resource when
islanding, ensuring full utilization of your renewable assets and stabilization of your microgrid.
