In recent years, retailers have taken significant steps towards reducing energy costs with LED lighting, smart climate control systems, solar arrays and other efficiency upgrades. These improvements often target overall consumption of electricity and achieve a return on investment after years of operation offset large up-front costs.

Efficiency improvements and solar are great for reducing consumption but they do not target charges related to peak demand - responsible for up to 50% of electric bills.

Utility bills are comprised of two main components: energy consumption charges (measured in kWh) and peak power demand charges (measured in kW). Demand charges are calculated every month based on the highest spike in demand within a window of time set by the utility. These charges cannot be addressed with energy efficient equipment alone.

FOR CHECK OUT AT NO COST

RETAIL DEMANDSRetail stores, distribution centers and corporate offices all see spikes in power demand throughout the day for different reasons (HVAC, refrigeration, elevators, etc.). These power fluctuations put stress on the local electrical grid, giving utilities reason to charge for peak use (demand charges) in addition to overall consumption of electricity.

ENERGY STORAGE SOLUTIONGreen Charge Networks’ energy storage solution makes managing energy costs simple for our customers. Installation of our battery storage system offers no disruption to business operations and through a shared savings agreement, no up-front capital is necessary. Left to work on its own, our industry leading control

Simple & Fast SavingsEnergy storage offers no disruption to business operations and savings are generated immediately with no capital investment.

software learns the customer’s energy use patterns, identifies spikes in demand and dispatches stored electricity to smooth out pull from the grid - reducing demand charges in the process.

SOLAR & EV CHARGINGFor customers interested in solar, Green Charge Networks has partnered with industry leading solar providers to offer a complete solar plus storage solution. Adding energy storage to a solar array improves the economics of the entire installation and secures your investment against climbing demand charges. When solar production is not optimal or demand spikes at your facility, energy storage can help bridge the gap, discharging to avoid costly spikes in demand.

In addition to solar, energy storage also pairs well with EV charging. Green Charge Networks has partnered with EV charging providers to offer a paired solution - in many cases installing EV charging at no cost to the customer with energy storage. Retailers are benefitting from traffic generated by chargers while their storage systems keep energy costs in check.

GREEN CHARGE DIFFERENCEOur team has the experience and know-how to design, build, and prove pilot projects successful for full scale deployment. When it comes to energy storage, appropriate sizing is key. Our analyst and operations team will ensure the most efficient and effective system is installed – no matter how big or small, indoors or out. With our

shared savings business model, we have every incentive to get things right.

Green Charge Networks’ cloud-based software is the most advanced and proven platform in the industry. Unlike competitors who simply program a setpoint, our software balances historical data with present circumstances - adjusting operations in real time to maintain savings. When storage systems are eligible for enrollment in local energy markets, our software participates and generates revenues on behalf of the customer. Performance can be viewed in aggregate or site-by-site with proof of savings clearly outlined in our customer portal.

In addition to scalable hardware and intelligent software, Green Charge Networks offers a no cost performance-based Power Efficiency Agreement™ (PEA). Over a 10-year term, savings are shared, removing all cost and risk from the customer. Hardware and software are bundled together with installation, maintenance, operations and support all included.
