Financial & Operational Benefits of Energy Storage

Benefits

Enhancing asset performance without capital intensity

OpenGrid delivers financial, operational, and sustainability benefits — without adding complexity to your site.

Drive NOI with zero capital risk.

Financial Benefits

Lower peak demand charges.

OpenGrid’s behind-the-meter energy storage system is designed to reduce short-duration peak demand events that drive demand charges.

For grocery-anchored and essential retail sites, peak demand reductions are often measured in the 20–40% range, depending on site load profile and utility tariff.

· Helps stabilize monthly electricity costs
· Reduces exposure to demand charge spikes
· Evaluated individually for each site

Actual savings vary by site and tariff structure.
