Battery storage for food, beverage, and brewing companies: reduce your electricity costs for the next 20 years

Electrifying the heat for your food or beverage production exposes your site to grid peaks and price swings. Bnewable's battery storage system absorbs both, at no investment on your part.

How Bnewable's battery storage adapts to food, beverage, and brewing businesses

Lower grid fees at €0 investment

With thin margins and capital tied up in equipment, energy infrastructure rarely gets prioritized at food and beverage companies. Production processes like pasteurization, sterilization, and CIP cycles create sharp peaks anyway, and those peaks cost you every month. With Bnewable, you don't invest, operate, or change your process at all. We finance and install the battery storage system, carry all the operational risk, and lower your grid fees, at no cost to you.

Protected from upcoming regulations

Belgian industry pays more for electricity than its competitors in neighboring countries, and transmission tariffs for industrial companies more than doubled in 2025. The federal energy norm aims to close part of that gap with lower transmission tariffs and temporary price support for energy-intensive sectors. In return, companies must reinvest part of that support in assets like storage or demand flexibility. A Bnewable battery gives your site that flexibility, and prepares it for whatever the next tariff reform brings.

One point of contact that handles everything for you

A battery storage project typically means coordinating many different parties, on top of a production schedule you can't pause. Managing that with your own team often isn't realistic. Bnewable takes care of all of it: planning, permitting, installation, operation, maintenance, and market optimization, as one point of contact built around your schedule.

How Bnewable reduces your electricity costs

A battery storage system only saves you money if someone is actively managing it: deciding when to charge, when to discharge, and when to hold. That someone is us. Instead of owning a battery, you simply get the results of having one.

Battery-as-a-Service

How does Bnewable
work with food, beverage,
and brewing companies?

Your project with Bnewable follows the Battery-as-a-Service model: you pay a fee only when the battery is actively lowering your electricity costs, and you keep the larger share of those savings. The rest of the time, Bnewable trades on the energy market using your battery, and you get a cut of that too. Either way, you reduce your energy costs and earn extra revenue, with no investment, and no extra staff required.

FAQs by food, beverage, and brewing
companies about battery storage

Not automatically; that depends on the size of your battery storage system. When the battery is full, or the surplus is larger than what it can take, the remainder flows to the grid as it does today. Bnewable sizes the battery storage system against your measured surplus, so the share you capture is as high as it can usefully be.
