In the case of atypical grid usage, the company's maximum electricity consumption is outside the peak load time window defined by the grid operator (period of maximum grid load).
2
Depending on the grid level, the company must fall below the average annual maximum load by at least 20% during this period in order to benefit from atypical grid usage (Section 19 (2) StromNEV).
3
With a battery storage system, this materiality threshold can be achieved by drawing energy from the battery and not the grid during the relevant time period.

This enables electricity cost savings of at least 20%.
