Battery energy storage & solar solutions
Fully funded at no cost to our clients

We all know that electricity is one of the single largest elements of an Organisation’s annual OPEX and the prices continue to rise. So this Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is an opportunity that should not be overlooked.

The concept and the commercial offer are both refreshingly simple:

1. The reduction in costly lithium ion battery prices has made it viable for our supplier, Energy Optimisation Solutions (EOS) to build and operate multi-Mega Watt Battery Systems with an autonomy of more than One Hour which are housed within a 40ft ISO containers.
2. Multiple containers can be installed to match the building load.
3. These Battery Systems are connected (behind a meter) to one of the incoming main switch panels and positioned in the optimum location (after agreement with both the Organisation’s Energy and Facilities Management and their advisors).
4. Using these Battery Systems in clever ways results in significant cost savings.
5. The savings are achieved in several ways, primarily through the battery supplying the energy to the site during peak times and recharging the battery during off peak.
6. Expensive periods for importing power are avoided.
7. Also avoided are a number standing charges that are embedded in all electricity bills and which comprise a large part of the overall cost of an electricity bill.

The BESS can also deliver Grid Services which are becoming increasingly important as Renewable Energy expands its share of the UK Generation market.

50% of the agreed savings are retained by BESS Host and the remaining balance goes to EOS to pay for building and owning the Battery System, financing, installation and maintenance costs.

Please be aware that this is a true Off Balance Sheet arrangement under IFRS16 Rules. This is so important to many not-for-profit Organisations.

To make the savings possible, a 10-year commitment is normally required, though shorter contract periods are possible. To make things stack up commercially, each Host Location should be using at least £250k worth of power per  year at each of the locations being considered.
