The price changes every hour.

Batteries turn it into an advantage.

Charging during the cheapest hours and discharging during the most expensive ones is not a theoretical concept — it is the economic foundation of industrial storage. We analyze whether your profile can take advantage of it.

Value drivers

Three concrete ways to reduce your energy costs

Storage does not operate through a single value driver. Depending on the profile, it can act on all three simultaneously.

01

Hourly price arbitrage

Charge during lower-price hours and discharge during peak-price hours. The difference between both prices, applied to the volume of energy cycled, becomes direct and recurring savings.

Direct savings on your energy bill

02

Contracted capacity management

Demand peaks increase the capacity charge on your bill. The battery absorbs those peaks, allowing you to reduce contracted capacity and the associated fixed costs.

Capacity optimization

03

Protection against extreme prices

The market experiences episodes of very high prices during specific hours. Storage allows your consumption to be insulated from those peaks, acting as protection against volatility.

Volatility reduction

Indicative estimate

How much could your company save?

Savings depend on the volume of energy cycled, the price spread, and system efficiency. Adjust the parameters to obtain an indicative estimate.

A real analysis requires studying your hourly consumption profile using OMIE data. This is exactly the analysis we perform during the assessment phase.

Integration with self-consumption

Batteries and solar PV: greater value when combined

A solar self-consumption installation generates energy when the sun is shining, not necessarily when it is needed most. Storage closes that gap — and multiplies the overall return.

SOLAR + BESS

Maximizes solar self-consumption

Solar PV generation produces surplus energy at midday that, without a battery, is exported to the grid at a reduced price. With storage, that energy is reserved for the higher-price evening hours, significantly improving the return of the solar installation.

Exposure reduction

Less dependence on hourly prices

The combination of on-site generation and storage reduces the amount of energy your company needs to buy from the market during the most expensive hours, structurally reducing your exposure to price volatility.

Financial planning

Financial planning

When we analyze the feasibility of an integrated PV + BESS system, we build the financial model for the combined solution — not for each technology separately. The result is a more realistic view of total savings and return on investment.

Design flexibility

Possible integration with a PPA

For some profiles, combining a long-term PPA with battery storage makes it possible to secure the base cost of energy and optimize consumption peaks. We analyze whether this structure makes economic sense for your case.
