Energy storage for commercial properties – Revenue & savings | SBP
Cut peak loads and generate new revenue with energy storage for commercial properties. SBP offers smart, comprehensive solutions without heavy investments.
As a newly appointed DI Gazelle Company and one of Sweden's fastest-growing companies with a focus on long-term sustainability, we know what it takes to future-proof a business. At SBP, we deliver powerful battery systems with smart control. The result? Reduced power peaks, secure operation, and completely new revenue streams from Svenska kraftnät.
The energy storage market has matured. From being a pure backup cost, it is now a profitable investment with a direct impact on the bottom line. Through our Greentech-as-a-Service model, we make it easy for Swedish companies to implement scalable energy storage without heavy initial investments, including support and service throughout the contract period.
What is an energy storage facility and how does it work?
A commercial building energy storage system(BESS) is more than just batteries. It is an ecosystem consisting of inverters, cooling, fire protection, and, above all, a smart energy management system (EMS).
The system stores surplus energy, either from your solar cells or from the grid when the price is low, and uses it strategically. By integrating this with theChargeflowplatform, charging and discharging are optimized automatically based on what is most profitable at the moment, whether it is most profitable to use the electricity in the property or instead sell support services to the grid.
At SBP, we focus on lithium-ion batteries, commonly referred to as LFP, as they offer an excellent balance between performance and safety.
Here are some quick facts about lithium-ion batteries and our battery solution:
● Good energy density: Provides a compact solution that takes up little space in technical rooms or containers.
● Fast response: Can deliver full power in milliseconds, which is a requirement for several frequency markets.
● Modular design: Our battery cabinets are scalable. You can start with a smaller installation and easily expand as your needs grow.
Cost savings – get ready for new power tariffs
One of the strongest drivers for battery storage right now is the introduction of new power tariffs. In the coming years, more and more grid companies will switch to power-based tariffs, and the industry expects this to become the norm by around 2027 at the latest.
● The problem: You will be charged a high price for the individual hours each month when your property consumes the most electricity (peak loads).
● The solution (peak shaving): Our systems detect when a peak is approaching and release stored electricity. This "shaves the peak" on the grid, significantly reducing your grid fees and, in some cases, reducing the need for higher main fuses.
System size – examples of dimensioning with power peaks for different properties
50–200 kW
Benefit: Cut short, expensive power peaks
Suitable for: Small industry/offices with electric car charging
Suitable for: Heavy industry / real estate portfolios
Earn money from support services and VPP
This is where the calculation becomes most interesting. By connecting your battery to a virtual power plant (VPP) via smart energy management systems, your property becomes an active resource for Svenska kraftnät.
● Frequency market: You receive compensation for having your battery ready to balance the power grid. Revenue is generated by availability, and you earn money around the clock, year-round, as long as the battery is connected.
● Arbitrage: The system exploits price differences in the electricity market by charging when electricity is cheap (e.g., at night) and using or selling it when the price is high.
● Automation: Everything happens automatically. You don't need to monitor electricity prices or control manually; smart algorithms optimize battery operation for the market that offers the best return at any given moment.
Many people shy away from the investment cost, but with SBP'sGreentech-as-a-Service, you can implement energy storage without tying up your own capital.
Greentech-as-a-Service works as follows:
● Function rental: You pay a recurring fee for the function, while we at SBP take responsibility for operation, monitoring, and service throughout the contract period.
●Direct cash flow: Often , the revenue from support services and the savings from reduced peaks cover the monthly cost, resulting in positive cash flow from day one.
Please note that companies are not normally eligible for the "Green Technology" tax deduction, but we can help you calculate your ROI (Return On Investment) and any regional business subsidies. As a full-service provider, SBP ensures a turnkey solution that delivers both cost savings and long-term business benefits.
