Battery Storage Savings
$450,000/MW X 5MW = $2,250,000 PER YEAR
Convergent finances, owns, and operates battery energy storage systems to reduce Global Adjustment charges by “peak shaving,” or dispatching the battery when electricity is most expensive.
Using electricity from the battery—rather than the grid—during those peaks saves $450,000/MW at current pricing. If a facility’s load is 5MW, a Convergent battery system can save $2,250,000 annually, which is shared between Convergent and our customers.

Spotlight: Our Joint Venture with Shell New Energies
Shell New Energies selected Convergent to develop battery storage systems at two of their facilities, located in Sarnia, Ontario and Brockville, Ontario. The systems reduce the consumption of energy for the facilities by up to one third of typical demand while increasing the reliability and long-term sustainability of the grid.
This 10 MW / 20 MWh battery energy storage project is the biggest behind-the-meter battery energy storage system in North America.
”Convergent has a strong track record of delivering cost savings and resiliency services to large industrial customers. This energy storage offering complements the broader suite of solutions, including energy efficiency and energy management, that we already provide.
