Case study depicting the installation of a Battery-as-a-Service solution at Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Beck & Co. brewery in Bremen
Breweries require a substantial and constant supply of electricity, creating consumption peaks at busy times that put the grid under tension. Consumption peaks strain the electricity transmission and distribution grids. Energy storage optimises load profiles and decreases those peaks. They also lay the groundwork for the shift to renewables by providing flexibility and compensating for fluctuating yields from renewable energy sources.
On top, kilowatt-hours consumed at peak times cost significantly more in Germany, representing an important portion of AB InBev’s electricity expenses in this country. To shave off consumption peaks and effectively tackle related inefficiencies and costs, EDF Renewables Deutschland has provided an intelligent 1.9 MWh battery storage system with an as-a-service offer, comprising the installation, maintenance and operation of the equipment.
