An energy storage solution (ESS) can benefit municipalities to: Minimize facilities’ import of energy. Energy storage solutions mitigate risk to power disruption when operations must be running 24/7/365. Monitor plant generation capacity, metering information,varying load conditions, and cogeneration operating conditions to quickly control the ESS and maximize demand savings while meeting the utility’s demand needs. Enable four value streams: Receive revenue by allowing the ESS owners to use the available plant demand. Achieve energy savings and utility bill optimization with Stem by charging the batteries during lower energy costs and discharging at peak energy costs. Discharge when a momentary peak demand exceeds the average monthly peak during an unexpected cogeneration system shutdown. Benefit from local incentive programs – like California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) – while funding remains available. Read a Municipality case study
