Peak Shaving - Cut Peaks with Battery Storage

Learn how peak shaving with battery storage can reduce your demand peak and lower grid costs for your business.

Frequently asked questions

What is peak shaving?

Peak shaving is a strategy to reduce the highest power peaks in your electricity use. Instead of drawing maximum power from the grid during short periods, you use a battery that feeds stored energy and evens out the load. The battery charges when consumption is low and discharges when you would otherwise hit a new power peak.

How does peak shaving work in practice?

The system monitors your electricity use in real time via smart meters. When consumption approaches a predetermined threshold, the battery activates and feeds energy that reduces draw from the grid. When consumption drops, the battery recharges from the grid or solar panels. The entire process is automated.

Why is interest in peak shaving growing?

All grid operators must introduce power tariffs by 2027, making power peaks directly costly. At the same time, electrification is increasing: charging stations, heat pumps, and new machinery push peak loads higher. Companies that don't manage their power peaks risk significantly higher grid fees.

What benefits does peak shaving provide?

Peak shaving delivers lower grid fees by reducing your power peak, an even load that protects equipment and the grid, full control over energy use in real time, and fast ROI - most companies see savings within the first month after installation.
