Why this guide is right for you

In a time when the UK energy demands are rising, EV charging requirements are placing more pressure on local grids.

Battery energy storage systems use batteries to store and provide power as and when it is needed. Importantly, for EV charging infrastructure, BESS can deliver the additional energy needed to manage peak demand or avoid the need for expensive local infrastructure upgrades.

The benefits:

Overcome power constraints where a site does not have the power that chargers require.
Defer infrastructure upgrades and provide a load management solution.
Decarbonise EV charging by integrating renewable generation.
Reduce costs by maximising on-site renewables or charging using off-peak tariffs.

The energy world is changing. We're here to power the charge ahead.

We're world leaders in battery energy storage systems. By repurposing used electric vehicle battery packs, we create an energy storage system to help businesses manage their power more effectively. We work closely with EV charging companies and local authorities to provide additional support for EV charging infrastructure.

Learn more about our work within the high powered EV charging industry.

As the council fleet transitions to electric vehicles, including large vehicles such as refuse lorries, we will be using the battery energy storage system to prop up the grid.  By using intelligently managed BESS and V2G, on-site solar energy can be maximised and the depot will effectively be able to isolate itself from the grid during peak  periods and avoid peak tariffs.

Our fleet includes emergency call-out vehicles, and it is essential that they are always fully charged. Battery energy storage provides the additional resilience that we need.

– Frazer Crichton
Dundee City Council

As the requirement for high-powered charging increases, many sites will lack the electrical capacity needed. Battery energy storage can help play a role in supporting the increase in grid demand.
