🚨 Reporting LIVE from the REON facility in Chelmsford!
We just completed the installation of their massive 329 kWh REON OES 300 UL Battery Energy Storage System. Weighing in at over 8,500 pounds, this battery will play a major role in reducing the facility's electric costs.
Here's something most business owners don't realize...You can lower your electric bill without reducing your energy use.
Most commercial electric bills aren't just based on how much energy you use—they're also based on your highest 15-minute demand each month. Even a brief spike in electricity usage can trigger expensive demand charges, which often make up 30–70% of a commercial electric bill, even for businesses with solar.
That's where battery storage comes in. Imagine every time your building has a sudden spike in electricity use, the battery steps in and supplies that extra power instead of pulling it from the utility. This process is called peak shaving, helping keep your demand below costly thresholds.
The goal is simple: reduce your reliance on the grid and take control of your energy costs.
Battery storage is an excellent solution for:
🏭 Manufacturing Facilities
🏫 Schools & Municipal Buildings
🛒 Restaurants & Cafés
❄️ Cold Storage & Refrigeration
🚚 Warehouses & Distribution Centers
🚗 EV Fleet Charging
If your business has high demand charges, battery energy storage could save you thousands of dollars every year while improving energy resilience.
