Generate Income From Your BESS
Smart operators know there’s a larger opportunity than cost avoidance related to any battery investment. Let’s look at automated trading…
How automated trading of your renewable energy can benefit your business
Automated trading with an onsite battery energy storage system (BESS) involves buying and selling electricity in response to market price signals. When energy prices are low or even negative, the BESS draws power from the grid. When prices peak, the BESS discharges to power the business or sells electricity back to the grid.
Advanced energy management systems, like Podium, monitor day ahead market data, forecasting your site’s load, battery flexibility and onsite generation through an automated platform to optimise profits from energy storage, while ensuring operational energy needs are met.
Which businesses can benefit most from automated trading
Any business or community with an onsite renewable energy system, such as solar or wind combined with a BESS, can benefit from automated trading. Commercial and industrial companies with high, variable energy needs are best placed to benefit. Manufacturing, logistics, retail, and hospitality facilities with the ability to deploy onsite renewables will reap the highest rewards.
For example, logistics companies can use stored energy during peak hours to reduce costs, while factories with off-peak schedules can store cheap energy for production later, avoiding high daytime rates.

At Wattstor, we believe that renewable electricity is a business essential, and that a lack of resources shouldn’t stop businesses keen to decarbonise.
Wattstor will design, build, pay for, operate and optimise a complete renewable energy system on your premises – including renewable generation assets, battery and our EMS, Podium.
We will then sell you the electricity it generates and any remaining electricity from the grid through Price Protect – our new renewable energy tariff that combines the flexibility of a variable tariff with the peace of mind of a fixed one.
