Peak shaving technology

Peak shaving is a technique used to reduce electricity costs and strain on power grids. It involves temporarily boosting energy storage—like batteries—to supply power during times of high demand, such as hot summer afternoons. By supplying stored energy during these peaks, businesses and utilities can avoid buying expensive, high-price electricity from the grid. After the peak demand passes, the stored energy is recharged for future use. This process helps balance energy loads, lower costs, and improve grid reliability, making energy consumption more efficient and sustainable.
