Energy costs are rising, grids are coming under greater strain, and the demands placed on production reliability and sustainability grow year after year. For many industrial companies, peak loads, volatile electricity prices, and unpredictable grid fees have now become part of day-to-day business, with a clear impact on operating costs and competitiveness.
Modern industrial storage systems offer an effective answer here. They reduce peak loads, lower grid fees, optimise self-consumption, and make energy processes predictable. GEPVOLT SE develops and manufactures such storage systems entirely in Germany, with a clear focus on industrial applications, maximum safety, and economic impact.
In the following, we show how companies can sustainably reduce their energy costs with a GEPVOLT storage system and which technical and economic benefits this entails.
Reduce peak loads and significantly lower grid fees
Industrial operations regularly cause short but very high load peaks. These are measured by the grid operator and largely determine the annual grid fees. A single load peak can drive up costs for the entire year.
A GEPVOLT industrial storage system addresses precisely this:
- The storage system detects peak loads in real time
- It releases energy at lightning speed
- The actual grid load remains low
- The annual grid fees fall measurably
Many companies reduce their grid fees by 10-30 %, depending on the consumption profile and the installed storage capacity.
Optimise self-consumption and make the most of low-cost PV electricity
Industrial companies that have already installed photovoltaics or are planning to do so benefit additionally:
- Surpluses are stored during the day
- In the evening or during production peaks, the stored PV electricity is used
- The amount drawn from the grid falls significantly
- The CO₂ footprint and ESG figures improve automatically
This makes it possible not only to reduce energy costs but also to achieve sustainability targets measurably.
HPC charging and electric fleets without expensive grid expansion
Many companies face the challenge of creating charging infrastructure for employees, logistics, or company-owned fleets. However, the required grid connection capacity is often lacking, or it would be extremely expensive or not feasible at all.
An industrial storage system from GEPVOLT solves precisely this problem:
- Charging points are supplied by the storage system
- The storage system charges itself continuously from the available grid connection
- HPC charging is possible, even with weak grid capacity
- No additional grid expansion measures are necessary
This makes companies independent of the local grid and considerably accelerates the electrification of vehicle fleets.
Supply security: protection for critical production processes
In the event of voltage dips or outages, a GEPVOLT storage system automatically takes over the supply and protects critical equipment.
This means:
- fewer downtimes
- greater stability
- higher equipment availability
Our storage containers and their control, cooling, and safety architecture are developed and manufactured entirely in Hilden.
This means we offer: the highest German quality standards, our own safety and cooling concepts, full transparency over every installed component, no black-box systems, fast service channels, and complete control over the technology
