Understanding if a battery energy storage can meet your organisational goals

It all starts with a conversation. Battery energy storage is a new technology and we work closely with any interested site to find out what they’re trying to achieve. There are many different reasons that a site may be looking into storage – it could be to help reduce energy costs, capture solar, provide additional power at peak times or enhance resilience – and understanding the objectives is the first step.

We’ll use your data to model your site and the potential impact that a system could have. You’ll receive a full report back which will estimate the cost associated with installing a system on site and quantify the expected benefits including cost and carbon savings as well as including any other information on solar utilisation or what support a system can provide for EV charging. If a system isn’t right for a site, we’ll let you know.

From there, it becomes all about finding the finance to make procurement happen. Connected Energy has worked with many partners on funding bids and can provide information on financial ROI and carbon savings to support applications. We are also established on the public sector frameworks including Crown Commercial Services, Public Power Solutions, and LASER.

And if a financial model could be of interest, we also work with Capitas to provide a battery storage as a service model.
