Facing rising electricity costs and access to incentives through energy market programs, today’s businesses are integrating energy storage to manage their exposure to the grid strategically. Lithium-ion batteries and other forms of energy storage are capable of storing large amounts of electricity for consumption on demand. Facilities with on-site energy storage resources equipped with DER Optimization Software can automatically store electricity when it is least expensive and consume it when costs from the grid are most expensive.
The Value of Energy Storage
Demand Charge Management
Reduce your facility’s peak electricity grid demand levels with commercial energy storage and enjoy lower charges based on less need during peak demand times.
Energy Arbitrage
Store low-cost power with your energy storage system so you can avoid using energy from the electricity grid during periods of high-cost energy.
Demand Response
Earn demand response payments for reducing grid demand when called upon without shutting down equipment in your facility. Enel X offers access to more demand response programs worldwide than any other provider.
Other Market Programs and Incentives
Capitalize on other regional programs offering compensation for distributed energy storage and solar-plus-storage projects.
Pairing with Solar
Integrating energy storage can make new or existing solar energy projects more valuable, providing the ability to use that clean, low-cost power at times when it is most valuable.
Improved Grid Stability
Improving your facility’s flexibility with energy storage helps to keep energy costs in control in your community and make the electric grid more reliable and sustainable.
Backup Power
Under certain configurations, energy storage can be incorporated into a resilience plan to provide backup power in the event of a grid outage.
