Demand Charge Management with Battery Storage
You know that moment when your factory's electricity meter suddenly spikes on a hot August afternoon? That's when demand charges transform from line items into financial landmines. Utilities calculate these fees based on your highest 15-minute consumption window each month—sometimes charging $30-$50 per kW for commercial users.
