FAQs

How can BEO save up to 50% of my company's electricity costs?

BEO achieves savings and generates additional cash flow for its customers through four application areas of BEO battery storage systems: First, electricity purchasing is time-optimized so that more electricity is consumed during low-price periods and less electricity during high-price periods. Second, grid fees are reduced through targeted peak shaving (or special applications such as atypical grid usage). Third, storage capacity is used for electricity trading and ancillary services, generating additional revenue that is shared with customers. Fourth, PV self-consumption can be optimized – if available. Additionally, there will be further potential in the future through new regulations (including dynamic grid fees).

What costs and expenses can BEO customers expect?

BEO customers incur no investment costs and have no internal operational effort in the planning, implementation, or operation of the BEO storage systems. BEO also typically bears all modification costs required to install the storage systems (including potential costs for expanding the grid connection). Depending on the storage size and application, an annual storage fee may apply; however, it will never exceed the achieved savings.

Who owns and operates the battery storage systems?

BEO owns and operates all relevant assets. However, companies have the option to purchase the installed systems from BEO at any time, at pre-agreed dates and prices.

How long are the contract terms?

Contract terms are individually adapted to customer needs. BEO electricity tariffs typically start at one year and battery storage contracts typically start at 8 years.

What are the long-term benefits?

Storage systems provide long-term protection against new regulation (e.g. dynamic grid tariffs that are expected to be introduced as part of the AgNes reform). They can also help avoid potential future grid connection bottlenecks (for example, when production is to be expanded, but no additional grid connection capacity is available).

How does the BEO savings potential analysis work?

BEO only requires three things to calculate the optimal concept and the expected savings for your company: a 12-month load profile, a recent electricity bill, and an address. Within 24 hours, your company will receive a comprehensive benchmark of its current electricity costs as well as a full savings analysis based on BEO battery storage systems.
