Japanese demand response provider Eneres has launched a behind-the-meter battery energy storage system and plans to install 10,000 units nationwide.
Eneres will offer the Toshiba IT & Control Systems’ 10 kW/9.9 kWh single-phase systems to consumers at a low initial price and then remotely discharge the batteries to trade the power with utilities. Consumers will benefit from lower electricity bills by reducing peak consumption and the batteries will be charged during off-peak night-time hours.
