Commercial Battery Storage in Southern California
Commercial electric bills in California are dominated by demand charges — the highest 15-minute spike in a billing period. Battery storage flattens those peaks, unlocks time-of-use arbitrage, and keeps critical loads running when the grid goes down.
The Nuon Standard for
commercial battery storage.
Nuon Energy sizes storage against your interval data (5, 15 or 60-minute intervals from your utility), models the demand-charge and TOU savings, and stacks incentives — SGIP, ITC and MACRS — into a financeable payback.
Projects are commissioned with utility-grade metering and cloud dispatch so you can prove savings month over month.

Why commercial storage pays back
In California, commercial customers pay for both energy (kWh) and demand (kW peaks). Battery storage discharges during the highest usage windows of the month, cutting the peak the utility bills against. Layered on top, TOU arbitrage charges the battery during off-peak hours and discharges during expensive on-peak windows.
For sites with critical loads — data closets, refrigeration, medical equipment — the same battery delivers seconds-to-swap backup during PSPS events and grid failures.
Right-sized against your interval data
We pull your 15-minute interval data from the utility, model dispatch against 12 months of load, and iterate battery kWh / kW / cycles until the economics converge. You get a savings model, not a guess.
Proven savings after go-live
Projects are commissioned with utility-grade revenue metering and cloud dispatch. Monthly reports compare modeled savings against actual bill reduction, so finance teams can verify performance without third-party audits.
