How Bnewable's battery storage solution adapts to heavy industry

Lower electricity costs at €0 investment

You're under constant pressure to cut costs, without additional investment or complex changes to your operations. At the same time, fluctuating electricity prices and expensive load peaks are eating into your margin. Building the solution yourself would tie up exactly the capital and expertise you're trying to avoid. With Bnewable's Battery-as-a-Service model, we take care of purchasing and installing the battery storage system at your site, and all operational headaches that might come with it. Through peak shaving, self-consumption optimization, and real-time energy trading, we lower your grid fees while your investment stays €0.

More value from your grid connection, now and later

Flexibility has become a requirement, not a bonus. Grid operators are rebuilding tariffs, connections, and exemptions around it, at every level. If your industrial site can't demonstrate flexibility, you risk losing benefits you currently rely on. Bnewable's battery storage system makes your site flexible by design, so you're covered no matter how the rules change.

One point of contact that handles everything for you

A battery storage project typically requires coordinating 15 to 20 different parties, and that's before accounting for regulatory complexity. Managing that alongside your day-to-day business is complex. We take care of it all: planning, permitting, installation, operation, maintenance, and market optimization, as a single point of contact built around your operational schedule. Your production keeps running as usual. If the battery storage system ever underperforms or fails, it's our responsibility to fix it.

Your electricity costs are unique to your industry, so your battery storage solution should be too

Glass production

Once a glass furnace is fired, it runs day and night, including during the grid's most expensive hours. Bnewable buys, installs, and operates the battery storage system for you, so your electricity costs come down without any investment on your side.

Manufacturing

Your peaks come from welding robots, paint-drying ovens, and compressed air systems switching on. As you add production lines or automation, your grid connection can become the bottleneck, and a formal upgrade can take years and real capital. Bnewable's battery storage system covers your added peak load, so you get the extra capacity without applying for a grid upgrade.

Chemical plants

Reactions, distillation, and cooling processes run around the clock. Bnewable buys extra electricity when it's cheap, so you buy less when it's expensive. We also trade on the energy market on your behalf, so you earn from your electricity, even during the long stretches where you don't need it yourself.

How Bnewable cuts your electricity costs
and keeps it that way

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. Bnewable finances, installs, and operates a behind-the-meter battery on your site. Instead of owning a battery, you simply get the results of having one.

Solar power optimization

Store your solar surplus instead of feeding it back at a lower rate or losing it, so you can use your green energy in the evening too.

2

Virtual grid expansion

Bnewable's battery takes over when your site needs more power than your grid connection can handle. You get the extra capacity of a grid upgrade, without the years of waiting or the costs that come with it.

Energy trading

Bnewable's energy management system, Voltana trades your battery's flexibility on the energy markets, adding a revenue stream on top of your savings, automatically.

Battery-as-a-Service

Wie Ihre Industrie-Batteriespeicherlösung aussieht

1

We calculate your savings potential before you decide

Based on your consumption, load peaks, PV generation, and grid connection, we size your battery storage system and show you clearly what savings potential and revenue you can expect.

2

We invest in the battery, you keep your capital

Your CAPEX: €0. We take on the full investment; you only provide the space and grid connection. That means your capital can go into your core business instead.

3

We handle the installation, your operations continue undisturbed

We take care of planning and permits, installation, grid connection, and integration with your Energy Management System (EMS) — without interrupting your ongoing operations or requiring any changes to your existing electricity supply contract.

4

We operate the battery storage system and carry the risk at all times

With Voltana, our energy management system, we keep your battery storage system running at peak economic efficiency around the clock. The software gives you full visibility into usage, revenue, and CO₂ impact. If something fails or underperforms, that's our job to fix, not yours.

5

Your energy costs go down. You receive additional revenue. You carry no risk.

Your electricity costs go down from the day your battery storage system is up and running, without any investment or risk on your part. When you don't need the battery yourself, we trade with it on the energy market, and you receive a share of the revenue. Battery-as-a-Service is designed for a long-term partnership: the better the battery storage system serves your site and the energy market, the more we both benefit.

How does Bnewable
work with heavy
industry 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.

1

We project your potential savings

We size the battery to your consumption, peak loads, solar generation, and grid connection, then calculate what you'd save before you commit to anything.

2

We invest in the battery, you keep your capital

Bnewable covers the full cost of the system. You provide the space and the grid connection; your capital stays in your core business.

3

We build it, you run your business as usual

Energy storage comes with complex permitting. We handle planning, permits, and installation, while your operations continue as usual.

4

We operate it and absorb all risks for you

We keep the battery running at peak efficiency, cutting demand peaks, maximizing your solar use, or earning market revenue. Maintenance is on us too.

FAQs by heavy industry companies
about battery storage

This is delivered through virtual grid extension. Bnewable's battery storage system covers the gap between what your site draws and what your connection allows. When demand rises above your contracted capacity, the battery storage system supplies the difference behind the meter, so the power drawn through your grid connection stays within its limit. Your connection contract stays unchanged.

Sites with ATEX or Seveso zones can take a battery storage system. Placement is the part that needs care, so the site study starts from your zoning plan and the safety requirements that apply to it, and the battery storage system goes where those requirements allow. Bnewable's installations are built to the safety standards that govern battery storage systems. Bring the zoning plan to the intake, and Bnewable can tell you early whether the space you had in mind works.
