Businesses that benefit most from battery storage are those with large swings in energy use between daytime and nighttime. When we can flatten and optimize that load, the savings become meaningful. Another ideal scenario is when a business is adding significant new demand — such as installing EV chargers, adding a production line, or expanding office space.
Upgrading a building’s electrical service can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and once it’s done, you’re locked into higher transmission and delivery tariffs for decades. Instead, investing a similar amount — for example, around $200,000 — into a battery system can offset that need and help avoid those long-term fees. For many business owners, that’s where battery storage delivers its strongest value.
