Commercial battery storage that eliminates demand charges, provides backup power and generates VPP income. Zero CapEx with Total Care.
Peak demand charges can represent 30 to 50% of commercial energy bills, hitting businesses with $10,000 to $30,000+ monthly penalties for using electricity when everyone else does. Meanwhile, grid instability threatens operations with increasing blackout risks.
Commercial-grade BESS engineered to cut peak charges, provide backup cover and generate VPP revenue — under one managed contract. One system. Three ways it pays.
Discharge through high-tariff windows to cut the peak kVA charges that drive 30–50% of your bill.
Sub-100 ms transfer keeps critical loads running through outages, protecting trade and stock.
Spare capacity earns from grid-services markets when it isn't shaving peaks or backing up loads.
Our control platform forecasts demand spikes and discharges the battery through high-tariff windows, cutting the peak kVA charges that drive 30–50% of your bill — automatically, every billing period.
We design around proven, utility-grade hardware — matched to your site's load profile and growth plans, and backed by long manufacturer warranties.
Proven commercial-scale performance, engineered for reliable mid-to-large deployments.
Advanced lithium-ion chemistry, backed by 10 to 15 year manufacturer warranties.
Scalable solutions engineered to your specific load profile and growth plans.
Zool Energy's control platform monitors, predicts and dispatches your battery automatically — no team needed, no guesswork.
AI algorithms learn your consumption patterns across days, weeks and seasons to understand when you typically spike.
Predict demand spikes up to 30 minutes ahead, combining historical data with real-time meter readings.
Automatically discharge to shave the spike before it hits your demand meter. Sub-100 ms response.
Recharge during off-peak windows using cheap grid electricity or solar generation — whichever costs less.
When your battery isn't shaving peaks or backing up critical loads, Zool Energy dispatches spare capacity into grid-services markets. The revenue flows back to you.
Your battery provides frequency control ancillary services when there's surplus capacity, earning from one of Australia's most lucrative grid-services markets.
A typical commercial BESS installation delivers three stacked revenue and savings streams — before Zool Energy's zero-upfront model even enters the equation.
$400K+ upfront capex, 5 to 9 year payback, and you carry all the risk and O&M.
$0 upfront, a fixed rate below grid price, and day-one positive cash flow.
Solar + BESS keeps your critical operations running through outages — with seamless transfer and generator-ready support for extended events.
Store excess solar generation during the day.
Discharge stored energy during peak periods (4–9 pm).
Sell surplus into VPP when wholesale prices peak.
Maintain 80%+ energy independence year-round.
Challenge: $25,000/month peak demand charges across three sites, plus 8 blackout events in the prior year costing an estimated $150,000 in lost trade and spoilage.
Solution: Zool Energy deployed a 2 MWh battery portfolio under Total Care, with intelligent load management coordinating across all three sites.
"Our peak demand charges went from $25K to $8K per month. The VPP revenue is pure profit we never expected."— Facilities Manager, shopping centre chain
Our engineers analyse your site's load profile and give you a projected savings figure and Total Care price — whether you move forward or not.
Request my assessment →Rising tariffs, 24/7 load and tight operating margins make energy one of the hardest line items in aged care, and one of the most fixable.
The economics almost always work, yet projects stall on upfront capital. Here's how a Total Care model removes the blocker entirely.
