Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage
For Commercial & Industrial (C&I) businesses, a battery energy storage system (BESS) can help optimize energy costs, improve energy resilience, decarbonize operations and accelerate electrification. Built to Volvo Group standards of quality and safety, it's the reliable, future proof solution for your energy needs.
Premium power units
The PU2000 is designed for businesses that depend on reliable and predictable energy. It delivers 1000 kW of power, and has an energy capacity of 2048 kWh. By storing energy and using it when it is needed most, it helps reduce peak demand, manage energy costs, and support continuous operations.
- Keep your operations running: Maintain a stable power supply and avoid disruptions when the grid is limited or constrained.
- Optimize energy cost: Reduce the impact of energy price fluctuations and avoid high peak demand charges.
- Safe and secure by design: Built on Volvo’s standards for safety and supported by high levels of cybersecurity to protect operations.
- Increase energy value: Store excess energy, such as solar, and use it when it is needed most.
- Reliable Service: Backed by European support and expert maintenance, maximize uptime and maintain consistent performance.
Industry applications of C&I energy storage systems
Manufacturing facilities
High-load machinery and sensitive processes require constant, reliable energy. A BESS helps avoid costly production stops by covering peak demand periods and ensuring backup power during grid instability.
Warehousing and logistics centers
By lowering energy costs and enabling efficient EV fleet charging, industrial energy storage solutions offer real value for large-scale logistics sites. A BESS supports overnight operations, peak-load smoothing, and rapid charging during high-demand periods.
Commercial buildings
Retail chains, data centers, and office buildings can use commercial battery storage solutions to stabilize energy consumption, reduce peak tariffs, and support sustainability targets by integrating solar or other renewables.
Fleet depots
Electrified fleets need dependable charging infrastructure. A BESS delivers fast, efficient charging while easing demand on the local grid - making it ideal for truck, bus, and delivery depots.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
A BESS supports the C&I sector by lowering energy costs through peak shaving and load shifting during high-demand periods, providing reliable backup power to prevent operational disruptions, enabling the integration of renewable energy sources, and helping companies meet their sustainability and carbon reduction targets—all while optimizing energy management and reducing grid impact.
By storing electricity during off-peak hours and using it during peak demand, a BESS helps reduce reliance on grid energy, and can support in optimizing consumption patterns.
Yes, a BESS is well-suited for EV charging infrastructure as it allows for fast, reliable, and cost-effective charging by balancing energy supply and demand, reducing stress on the grid during peak times, and supporting the use of renewable energy sources.
