Peak Shaving for Commercial Buildings in Kenya: Reduce Demand Charges with Battery Storage
Commercial buildings such as office blocks, malls, and business parks often face high electricity bills due to peak demand charges. Even if your total energy usage is reasonable, short power spikes can increase your monthly bill significantly.
A C&I battery energy storage system solves this through peak shaving.
How Peak Shaving Works
- The battery charges during off-peak hours or from solar PV
- During peak hours, the battery supplies part of the load
- The building draws less from the grid at maximum demand
This reduces demand penalties and improves energy efficiency.
