24-hour dispatch
Charge at night. Power the building by day.
The battery fills up on cheap overnight power, then runs the building through the expensive afternoon peak — cutting demand charges every single day.

How the savings are actually created
1. Buy energy at the bottom of the curve
Between roughly midnight and 6 a.m. Canadian grids are lightly loaded and off-peak energy prices fall to a few cents per kWh. The system charges to full during that ultra-low window, when the marginal cost of a stored kWh is at its lowest point of the day.
2. Hold through the shoulder hours
Mid-day prices are not high enough to justify a cycle. The battery sits idle, losing only a fraction of a percent to standby, while the control system forecasts the day's coincident peak from meter data and weather.
3. Discharge across the peak window
When facility load and grid price climb together — typically late afternoon in summer and early evening in winter — the battery discharges into the building. The meter never sees that demand, so the billing peak that sets your demand charge is clipped.
4. Two savings streams, one asset
You capture the price spread on the energy you shifted, plus the far larger demand charge avoidance on the kW you removed from the billing peak. In most Canadian C&I tariffs the demand charge component drives 60–80% of total value.

What we do
We install batteries at your building and run them to cut your electricity bill.
You provide your energy data. We confirm the business case, design and install the right system, then operate it every day. One partner is accountable for the complete result.
What the system does for you
Three outcomes from one asset
The battery works every day and remains available when the grid goes down.
Keep the lights on
The same battery becomes backup power for critical loads during outages, with no diesel and no fuel logistics.
Fund it with incentives
We stack the 30% federal ITC with provincial and utility programs, so a large share of the project cost comes back to you.
From first file to daily operation
How we work with you
We lead every stage and give you a clear decision point before moving to the next one.
- 01
Assess
You send one year of utility bills or 15-minute interval data. We model savings, battery size and payback — free, no obligation.
- 02
Design & approve
We engineer the system, file the utility interconnection and permits, and lock in every incentive you qualify for.
- 03
Build & commission
Our crews handle civil work, the pad, high-voltage hookup and commissioning. One provider, one contract, one schedule.
- 04
Operate & guarantee
Our AI dispatch software runs the battery every day, and we monitor, maintain and warranty it for 10–15 years.
Turnkey scope
Everything required to deliver and operate the project
You do not have to coordinate manufacturers, engineers, contractors, utilities and operators — we do.
The hardware
Canadian-certified (CSA C22.2 No. 340, UL 9540, NFPA 855) outdoor liquid-cooled LFP battery enclosures, scaled to your site.
The software
AI energy management that auto-dispatches peak shaving, predicts Ontario Class A Global Adjustment peaks and arbitrages Alberta AESO prices.
The engineering
Single-line diagrams, protection studies, utility interconnection filings (Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, ENMAX, BC Hydro) and AHJ permitting.
The installation
On-site civil work, structural concrete pad, high-voltage electrical hookups and commissioning by certified Canadian electricians.
Optional financing & incentives
Clean Technology ITC support and optional equipment financing, tailored to your project and budget.
The ongoing service
24/7 remote monitoring, thermal health tracking, preventative maintenance and 10-to-15-year capacity degradation warranties.

Applications by property type
Multi-family residential
Multi-residential buildings carry evening peaks driven by elevators, HVAC, common-area load and increasingly resident EV charging. Storage flattens the evening ramp and defers costly service upgrades.
22% typical peak reduction
Cold storage
Refrigeration compressors create sharp, repeatable demand peaks with significant thermal inertia. Cold-storage sites regularly show the strongest BESS payback in Canada.
35% typical peak reduction
Warehouse & distribution
Distribution centres combine material-handling loads, battery-charging bays and fleet electrification, producing steep short-duration peaks well suited to 2-hour storage.
28% typical peak reduction
Commercial EV charging
DC fast-charging sites are demand-charge dominated: a handful of simultaneous sessions can set the monthly peak. Buffered storage lets a site serve high-power charging on a smaller service.
45% typical peak reduction
Industrial & manufacturing
Process loads, welders, motors and batch operations create high coincident peaks. In Ontario, Class A Global Adjustment avoidance can exceed demand-charge savings.
30% typical peak reduction
Retail & grocery
Grocery and big-box retail combine refrigeration, HVAC and lighting into predictable midday summer peaks — a good fit for a compact 100–500 kW system.
24% typical peak reduction
Office & institutional
Office towers, schools and healthcare properties value predictable demand reduction plus resilience for critical circuits during outages.
20% typical peak reduction
Frequently asked questions
- Can a battery actually save my building money in Canada?
- It depends on your demand charge, load shape and province. Sites with demand charges above roughly $10/kW-month and a load factor below 55% typically show a simple payback of 5 to 8 years after the 30% federal Clean Technology ITC.
- What size BESS does a commercial building need?
- Most Canadian commercial and industrial sites install a 2-hour system sized to 20-45% of monthly peak demand — for example a 500 kW / 1 MWh system on an 1,800 kW industrial peak.
- How long does utility interconnection take in Canada?
- Typically six to twelve months, covering the connection impact assessment, ESA or provincial inspection, AHJ review under the Canadian Electrical Code, and a utility witness test.
- What incentives are available for battery storage in Canada?
- The federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit covers 30% of eligible standalone storage capital cost, alongside provincial programs such as IESO demand response in Ontario and Hydro-Québec winter peak management credits.
Estimates are preliminary and non-binding. Tariff figures are indicative and must be verified against current utility rate schedules. Final system design requires interval data, a site assessment and stamped engineering.
