Energy resilience is fast becoming a priority across New Zealand's commercial and industrial sectors, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a major part of that conversation.
Our engineer Ilya Orlov recently spent time with our partner Advance Eco Energy in Hong Kong, gaining hands-on experience with BESS technology and seeing how it's being deployed at scale. It's a fast-moving space that connects directly to the work we already do in power continuity, UPS systems, and renewable energy and we're bringing the latest BESS technologies home to support New Zealand businesses.
If you're weighing up whether energy storage has a place at your site, these are the questions worth asking:
• How does battery energy storage reduce energy costs and peak demand charges?
• Where does BESS fit alongside solar, generators and UPS systems?
• What does it mean for uptime, compliance, and long-term energy planning?
If energy storage is on your radar for 2026 planning, reach out to the team at RCR Infrastructure (NZ), DataGuard, and RCR Renewable. We're happy to talk through where BESS could fit into your site.
