Most facility managers know how much energy their plant consumes on a monthly basis. But far fewer know what their highest 15-minute electrical draw is, or what it actually cost them.

Having a thorough understanding of a facilities electrical consumption can offer an operation important insight on potential cost saving opportunities and decreasing its carbon footprint. A battery energy storage system (BESS) can be an important tool employed by operations, providing them with available power during demand spikes, rate hikes, and down grids.
