Why It Matters
Electricity is one of the fastest-rising operational costs for UK businesses. While price volatility and peak-time charges eat into your margins, energy storage offers a powerful solution.
By investing in an energy storage battery, you’re not just going green you’re gaining control, predictability, and in many cases, a new source of revenue

The Financial Impact
Here’s how energy storage can directly affect your bottom line:
1. Cut Your Peak-Time Costs
Most UK businesses are charged more for electricity during peak hours (4pm–7pm).
By storing electricity earlier in the day, you avoid these premium rates, every single day.
2. Avoid Capacity Charges
Battery systems can help lower your site’s maximum demand threshold, cutting non-energy charges like DUoS and Triads.
3. Reduce Downtime Risk
Power outages or grid instability?
Energy storage keeps you running, avoiding the costs of lost production, service disruption, or reputational damage.
4. Create a New Income Stream
With our Energy Optimisation AI upgrade, your battery can:
- Trade stored energy on your behalf
- Earn income during grid constraint periods
- Take advantage of market price fluctuations
This means your system is working for you 24/7… even outside business hours.
