Battery Storage Finance
Storage that earns its keep, funded on what it actually saves.
Batteries do several jobs at once: shaving peak demand, firming solar, keeping the line running through a dip. Funding has to respect all of them.
Typical project size , £100,000 – £5,000,000
What usually gets in the way
- BESS business cases stack multiple revenue and saving streams, and most lenders only understand one.
- Capacity charges and red-band demand hit the bill long before capital approval arrives.
- Import limits stall projects that would otherwise pay for themselves.
Why businesses finance it
- Convert a large capital ask into a monthly cost below the avoided demand charge.
- Deploy now while the tariff spread is worth capturing.
- Fund the enabling works, switchgear, protection, civils, not just the cabinet.
How GRID helps
Structured by people who read the load profile first.
01
We model against your half-hourly data and capacity charges, not a generic saving percentage.
02
We understand the difference between behind-the-meter peak shaving and grid-service revenue.
03
We fund the full scope including transformers, protection and controls.
Example projects
Real shapes, real structures.
Food producer, 1MW / 2MWh
Peak shaving against triad-style demand charges plus UPS resilience.
Logistics hub, 500kW
Firming depot charging so the site avoided a costly grid upgrade.
Industrial park, 2MWh
Shared storage funded across a landlord and two tenants.
