How a battery and EMS help reduce the capacity fee

A battery charges outside capacity-fee hours and supplies energy when the facility needs it most. The facility keeps operating while drawing less energy from the grid during peak periods.

Your consumption profile matters

The Polish capacity fee depends on grid consumption during designated hours and the difference between consumption in those hours and the rest of the day. A more balanced profile can reduce the applicable fee. The result depends on the facility’s demand and the battery’s power and capacity.

How control helps

The EMS schedules charging outside capacity-fee hours and discharging during demand peaks. The same battery can also support energy-price optimisation, solar self-consumption and contracted-power management.

Control and settings

We calculate the potential using your meter data. The calculation needs to include charging losses, energy prices and other charges. You can verify the actual result on the distribution operator’s bill.
