Project development for a 12 MW battery storage system completed.
12 MW / 24 MWhProject development completed
Cut electricity costs with battery storage: buy or lease flexibly.
A storage system at your site cuts electricity costs on three levels: shave peak loads, charge cheap, earn on the power markets. We plan, build and operate, you see the savings.

What is your annual electricity consumption?
A first estimate in 30 seconds.
Your electricity bill has more levers than it shows.
Most businesses overpay in three places. That is exactly where a battery storage system steps in — turning each cost block into a lever. The key part works entirely without PV, and our system runs it automatically.
no PVGrid fees up to −40%
Shave peak loads, cut grid fees
Your highest quarter-hour peak determines a large share of your grid fees. The storage discharges exactly at the peak moment; the expensive spike disappears, month after month.
no PVCheaper power supply
Charge cheap, use when expensive
The storage charges automatically when power is cheap on the exchange and delivers it hours later when power would be expensive. You shift consumption into low-price hours, automatically.
no PVAdditional revenue
Earn on the power markets
Free capacity is marketed automatically: charged during cheap hours, sold back to the grid during expensive hours. The difference is your revenue, on the day-ahead, intraday and balancing markets.
optional · with PVMore self-consumption
Maximise PV self-consumption
If you have a PV system, the storage stores the midday surplus and makes it available in the evening. An additional lever, but not a requirement.

02
Economic viability
Free: we calculate what peak shaving, smart procurement and marketing realistically deliver and which size fits.
03
Detailed analysis
On-site visit, grid analysis and a technical report as the solid basis for the final system design.
04
Delivery & operation
Scale Energy handles planning, permits, installation and the ongoing operation of the system.
Frequently asked questions.
Which sites are eligible for a storage system?
+
All industrial sites with at least 100 MWh annual consumption and a 15-minute load profile. The higher your peak loads and the more flexible your power procurement, the more attractive the model.
What does this cost my business?
+
The initial estimate and economic viability calculation are free. The paid detailed analysis (on-site visit, report) is the first chargeable step — the price is communicated transparently in advance. You can buy or lease the storage system; the leasing rate is typically below the monthly electricity cost savings.
How does ongoing operation work?
+
Scale Energy handles 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and fault resolution in full. You receive access to a dashboard with monthly reports.
What happens if the storage system is no longer profitable?
+
We operate and market the storage system across its entire lifetime and have our own interest in its economic performance. What applies in which case is contractually defined and transparent.
How long does it take from analysis to commissioning?
+
After the paid detailed analysis, typically 3–6 months, depending on the permitting process and technical complexity.
What technology is used?
+
Established LFP technology (lithium iron phosphate) with high cycle stability. System size is dimensioned individually to your load profile.
