BATTERY STORAGE

More control over when you use energy.

Battery storage can help businesses make better use of energy, store excess generation and manage changing demand. We help you assess whether battery storage could make commercial sense for your site.

THE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY

Battery storage isn't just about storing energy.

It's about having more control over when you use it. Businesses don't all use energy in the same way. Battery storage can help shift when energy is available to when it is needed, potentially improving how a site manages its electricity.

01

Store excess energy

Capture available energy for use at another time, where the system and site make this appropriate.

02

Manage energy demand

Use stored energy alongside your normal supply to give your business greater flexibility.

03

Work alongside solar

Store excess solar generation and make more of your own generated electricity available when needed.

04

Prepare for what's ahead

Consider changing energy requirements, EV charging and future demand when assessing the role storage could play.

HOW BATTERY STORAGE WORKS

Charge. Store. Use.

Make energy available when your business needs it. Battery storage can help move energy through time, giving your business greater flexibility over how and when electricity is used.

01
CHARGE

Energy available

Energy can come from solar generation or the grid, depending on the system and operating strategy.

03
USE

When you need it

Stored energy can then be used alongside your normal supply when appropriate.

+

The right battery strategy depends on your site.

We look at how your business generates and uses energy before assessing whether storage could add commercial value.

WHERE BATTERY STORAGE CAN HELP

Where could battery storage add value?

Battery storage can play different roles depending on how your business generates and uses electricity. We look at the operating pattern of your site to understand where storage could potentially fit.

01
ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Manage energy demand

Use stored energy alongside your normal supply to give your business more flexibility over when electricity is used.

03
FUTURE ENERGY

Support EV charging

For businesses considering EV charging, battery storage can be assessed alongside future electricity demand and site requirements.

04 +
FUTURE PLANNING

Plan for changing demand

Consider expansion, new equipment, electrification and other changes that could affect how your business uses energy.

+

Battery storage isn't one-size-fits-all.

Its potential value depends on your site's energy profile, operating pattern, generation, tariff structure and future requirements.

Solar can generate it. Battery storage can help you use more of it.

Solar generation and battery storage can complement each other. When a site produces more solar energy than it needs at a particular time, storage may provide a way to make some of that energy available later.

01

Generate energy

Solar panels generate electricity when the system is producing energy.

02

Store available generation

Where appropriate, battery storage can hold available energy for use at another time.

03

Use energy when needed

Stored energy can be made available alongside your normal supply when appropriate.

+
Battery storage doesn't have to mean solar.

We can assess storage on its own or alongside solar, depending on your site's requirements and commercial case.

THE COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT

The battery only makes sense if the numbers do.

Every business uses energy differently. We assess the factors that can influence whether battery storage could create a worthwhile commercial opportunity for your site.

06 Commercial case
01

Energy profile

Understand how much electricity you use and when your demand occurs.

02

Tariff & costs

Consider your current electricity costs and the structure of your energy tariff.

03

Solar generation

Look at existing or proposed solar generation and how it aligns with your site's demand.

04

Battery requirements

Assess potential battery requirements, operating patterns and how storage could fit your site.

05

Future demand

Consider EV charging, electrification, expansion and other changes that could affect energy use.

06

Commercial case

Bring the information together to understand the potential project economics and available routes for taking things forward.

+

We don't start with a battery. We start with your business.

If the numbers suggest storage could make commercial sense, we'll help you understand the potential options and next steps.

FUNDING YOUR BATTERY PROJECT

Different projects. Different ways to fund them.

Battery storage projects don't have to follow a single funding model. We help you understand the routes that may be available and how they could affect the overall commercial case.

01 DIRECT OWNERSHIP

CAPEX

Purchase the battery storage system outright using your own capital and retain ownership of the project.

02 SPREAD THE INVESTMENT

Asset Finance

Spread the cost of an eligible battery project through a finance structure rather than paying the full cost upfront.

04 PROJECT DEPENDENT

Other Structures

Depending on the project, other commercial arrangements may also be considered where appropriate.

We look at the funding alongside the project.

The most suitable route depends on the project, commercial requirements and eligibility. We help you understand the available options before you commit.
