BESS: Battery Energy Storage Systems
Industrial & commercial energy storage systems
Plug-and-play energy storage with added expertise
We go beyond expertly manufactured, dependable battery storage with specialist expertise to design, implement, and optimize a complete solution.
From flexible small-node solutions to large-node 1 MW battery energy storage, the right solution for you depends on your applications, industry, and energy usage. That’s why you need a partner that understands the full spectrum of potential applications - and can deploy a range of stand-alone or interconnected solutions.
With a wide range of battery options, we can help you tackle your energy challenges on any scale. Our small-, mid-and large-node batteries are market-leading technologies, with the added benefit that every solution also includes the underlying monitoring and insight you need to:
- Use energy more flexibly by introducing battery storage
- Increase resilience and continuity with off-grid battery energy
- Reduce your fuel consumption and associated costs
- Combine the advantages of low-emission generators and battery storage with hybrid solutions
- Meet your energy transition goals
The impact of a battery energy storage system (BESS)
- Reduce emissions and generator runtime by storing unused energy in batteries until it’s required. Our intelligently designed solutions can deliver an up to 80% reduction in generator runtime, reducing your associated emissions while prolonging the lifespan of the generators you use. Our customers achieve an average of 40-50% reduction in harmful emissions, with some specific applications achieving up to 90%.
- Reduce your fuel costs by using the energy your generators create more flexibly and efficiently. Using remote monitoring, our expert team will help you understand your energy consumption, how your loads vary, and how to optimize your generator usage for cost.
- Increase your operational agility with scalable battery energy storage to match your applications. Our 30 kVA and 60 kVA batteries are highly maneuverable units complete with everything you need, while we can also scale up to a 250 kW, 500 kW and even 1 MW battery for robust or complex applications. Our hybrid solutions use generators to charge your batteries, automatically switching to battery energy when it’s required and switching back when it’s time to recharge.
Deal with emergencies and unexpected downtime with a redundant energy source if you encounter issues with the grid or generators fail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Battery energy storage means taking energy, usually from the grid or a generator, and storing it in a DC battery. This battery will have a capacity that’s tailored to your available energy, average consumption, load profile, and how long you will need to run the battery for.
This stored energy can then be turned back into AC energy using an inverter, which you can use to power your environment, from manufacturing lines to maintenance equipment and HVAC.
An Aggreko hybrid energy solution brings together all the elements you need for resilient energy while also reducing your emissions, risk, and fuel costs.
A typical hybrid energy solution can include a number of generators (available with a variety of fuel types), batteries for energy storage, and ancillary equipment including fire protection, remote monitoring, control software, and HVAC. An Aggreko hybrid solution is available in a single containerized unit that’s ready to be plugged into your project site and used immediately.
