Reduce Peak Demand Charges

Cut Commercial Energy Costs by Managing Your Load Profile

For commercial buildings, multifamily residences, and home-based businesses, utility bills aren’t just about how much electricity you use — they’re also about when you use it. Peak demand charges can account for up to 50% of a commercial electricity bill, driven by short spikes in energy usage. Fortress Power helps reduce those charges with intelligent, scalable energy storage.

Cómo funciona

Fortress Power battery systems store energy when demand is low and discharge it during peak usage periods, flattening your load profile and avoiding costly spikes. The system operates automatically, helping you stay under your utility’s demand threshold — without interrupting operations or comfort.

Who Benefits from Demand Charge Management?

– Small and medium-sized businesses

– Warehouses and light manufacturing facilities

– Schools, churches, and nonprofits

– Home-based commercial operations

– Multifamily and estate-style residences with high consumption

Demand charges are often hidden line items — but can be the biggest cost driver on your bill. Fortress Power makes them manageable.

Benefits of Reducing Peak Demand with Fortress Power

Lower monthly utility bills by avoiding demand spikes

Improve energy efficiency and load stability

Reduce strain on backup generators or HVAC systems

Scalable systems sized for small-to-mid-scale C&I applications

Unlike standard batteries designed just for outages, Fortress Power systems are smart enough to work in sync with your usage patterns — helping you lower operational costs without sacrificing reliability or performance.

How Fortress Power Compares to Other Backup Solutions

Not all backup power is created equal. While traditional generators and older battery technologies offer some protection during outages, they come with limitations — from noise and maintenance to short lifespans and safety concerns. Fortress Power’s lithium iron phosphate (LFP) systems deliver clean, reliable, and long-lasting energy you can count on — with fewer compromises and more control.
