Why It Matters to Hosts
An energy storage upgrade with measurable upside — and no capital required
Most grocery and retail sites already operate with large, inflexible electrical loads driven by refrigeration and HVAC. We quietly install equipment behind the meter that reduces peak demand and improves cost efficiency — without changing how your site operates.
$0 upfront cost
No capital expense or operating budget required.
Lower demand charges
Measurable reduction in monthly electricity costs.
No maintenance
OpenGrid owns, installs, and operates the system end-to-end.
EV charging
Optional EV charging as a premium amenity — with no ownership or maintenance risk.
LEED v5 points
Supports LEED v5 credits and future-ready infrastructure value.
How It Works
Installed once.
Runs in the background.
Low Friction Partnership
Designed for long-term
commercial sites
OpenGrid’s deployments are built for grocery-anchored and essential retail locations—sites with large, predictable electrical loads that require reliability, cost stability, and minimal disruption.
No capital outlay
You incur no upfront costs or ongoing operational expenses for the life of the project.
No interference
Installation and operation happen quietly behind the meter without impacting store operations.
