Installing behind-the-meter battery storage systems helps mitigate these spikes while creating localised flexible capacity that can be dispatched back to the grid during broader demand events.“ The demand side of the grid is what created the problem to begin with. If you save 30 % energy in a site, you’ re giving it to the grid at the moment you save it. The grid does not appreciate that,” Al explains.
By adding a battery storage element on-site, Budderfly can help businesses avoid those price peaks while supporting grid resiliency.
“ I now have all those kilowatts sitting in a battery waiting to be used when they’ re needed most by either the location or the grid,” Al continues.
“ And if we put thousands of batteries behind meters in commercial businesses, we may end up being the largest flex power provider to everybody that needs it most at a higher economic return that we can share with our customer, who is now motivated to put a battery on a little concrete pad in back of the building, which doesn’ t take up much space.”
