Industries we serve

High demand operations.{' '} Strong storage economics.

Battery storage delivers the strongest returns in facilities with high demand charges, peaky load profiles, critical operational equipment, or utility rate structures that reward flexibility. The assessment starts with understanding how and when the facility uses power.

; // ============================================================ // BessFAQ — 6 questions on the soft accent surface // ============================================================ const BessFAQ = () => { const items = [ { q: 'How does commercial battery storage reduce electricity costs?', a: 'Commercial battery storage reduces electricity costs by optimizing when and how a facility uses power—based on its utility rate structure.\n\nIn most commercial and industrial rate schedules, a significant portion of the bill is tied to peak demand—the highest level of electricity usage during a billing period. In Ontario, for example, this is typically measured over a 15-minute interval and can represent 30–50% of a facility\u2019s total electricity costs.\n\nBattery storage systems reduce these charges by discharging during peak demand periods, lowering the facility\u2019s measured demand and resulting monthly charges.\n\nIn addition, storage can reduce costs through:\n\nGlobal Adjustment (Ontario): By strategically dispatching during peak grid hours, eligible facilities can lower their contribution to Global Adjustment charges under programs like the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI).\n\nEnergy arbitrage: Charging the battery during low-cost periods and discharging during high-cost periods to capture the difference in electricity pricing.\n\nBecause these strategies are applied continuously, the savings are recurring and compound over the life of the system.' }, { q: 'What is IESO demand response and how does storage participate?', a: 'IESO demand response programs pay commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities to reduce electricity consumption during periods of peak grid demand—and battery storage enables this without disrupting operations.\n\nIn Ontario, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) runs demand response and capacity programs that compensate facilities for being available to reduce load when the grid is under stress. Traditionally, this meant shutting down equipment or curtailing operations.\n\nWith battery storage, facilities can participate by discharging stored energy during these events, reducing grid consumption while maintaining normal operations.\n\nStorage systems can generate value through:\n\nDemand response events: Dispatching during peak grid conditions to earn event-based payments\n\nCapacity programs: Receiving ongoing payments for being available to respond when called upon\n\nAggregator participation: Most facilities enroll through a registered aggregator who manages dispatch and market participation\n\nBecause these programs are recurring and contract-based, they provide a predictable, ongoing revenue stream that is modelled alongside demand savings in the project economics.' }, { q: 'Should we install battery storage before or after solar?', a: 'It depends on the economics, site constraints, province, and your organization\u2019s goals.\n\nIn many provinces, commercial solar is currently the more attractive first investment because it can deliver strong long-term savings, reduce emissions, and take advantage of available tax incentives. But battery storage can be the better first step when demand charges are high, grid programs are available, backup power is a priority, or the site has limited suitable roof space for solar.\n\nThe right sequence should be based on a combined assessment of:\n\nSolar payback on its own\n\nBattery storage payback on its own\n\nDemand charge exposure\n\nProvincial rate structure and incentive programs\n\nAvailable roof space and electrical capacity\n\nGHG reduction goals\n\nBackup and resiliency requirements\n\nFuture electrification plans\n\nFor most facilities, the best approach is not choosing solar or storage in isolation. It is modelling both options separately and together to determine which investment should come first—and whether a combined system creates the strongest long-term value.' }, { q: 'What battery storage incentives are available in Canada?', a: 'Battery storage incentives in Canada include both federal tax incentives and province-specific utility programs.\n\nFederal — Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (ITC): A refundable tax credit of up to 30% of eligible battery storage capital costs.\n\nFederal — Enhanced First-Year Capital Cost Allowance (CCA): Allows 100% accelerated depreciation on eligible clean energy investments in the first year.\n\nProvincial / Utility Programs (where available): In some regions, additional funding is available through local utilities. For example, BC Hydro offers battery storage incentives of up to 80% of project costs for eligible commercial and industrial facilities.\n\nBoth federal incentives apply to battery storage independently of solar, and for combined solar + storage projects, both systems can qualify.' }, { q: 'How long do commercial battery storage systems last?', a: 'Commercial lithium-ion battery systems typically carry a 10-year cycle warranty, with usable capacity warranted above a minimum threshold across that period. Physical system life is typically 12–15 years depending on duty cycle and chemistry.\n\nStorage systems are monitored across their operating life. As capacity degrades, dispatch programming is adjusted to maintain performance against the demand reduction targets in the original financial model.' }, { q: 'What size battery storage system does a commercial facility need?', a: 'Storage size is determined by the facility\u2019s demand profile — specifically the size and duration of the demand peaks driving the highest monthly charges.\n\nA facility where demand spikes are brief may need only a small system. A facility with sustained high-demand windows requires more capacity. The demand analysis in the assessment phase establishes the right size before any equipment is specified.' }]; const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(0); return (
