The Real Impact of Battery Storage

The emergence of battery storage as a proven technology is noteworthy. To us, though, the real story isn’t solely battery storage, it’s all the ways that storage can be integrated into existing energy systems, elevating what’s already in place and creating new possibilities.

A prime example is when battery storage is brought into a business already utilizing photovoltaic solar. Immediately, solar shines brighter as the energy it generates can be stored by day when the sun is out and used at night when it’s down. This more dynamic approach is made possible by another concept — a simple, powerful energy management system that accommodates and deploys multiple energy sources seamlessly while factoring in ever-changing energy market conditions. Depending on the situation, the system can be managed by the customer itself, or by an energy solutions provider like NRG.

Battery storage can enhance other energy sources, too, not just renewables. To increase cost savings, organizations using traditional generation can store energy in batteries when prices are low and tap into it when they’re high. Any customer with a large energy load and equally significant demand charges could benefit from leveraging storage in this way.

Whatever your energy situation, we’re always evaluating how available technologies benefit your operations. Our impact lies in how we bring the right mix of expertise and energy sources together—in effect, creating and managing a hybrid grid of distributed resources on each customer’s behalf. Our knowledge, combined with your unique goals, creates a powerful partnership that leads to the right energy solution.
