What is peak shaving? Peak shaving is the process of reducing a facility's electricity draw from the grid during high-demand periods, also known as peak hours. These peaks often trigger significantly higher electricity charges, especially for commercial and industrial users. Instead of relying on expensive grid power during these times, companies can use Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to supply the extra energy needed. This avoids demand surcharges and helps stabilize energy costs. Read how smart energy management with BESS optimizes power for a sustainable future Why use second-life batteries for peak shaving? This is where Rebaba’s second-life battery systems come in. We take high-quality battery modules from electric vehicles and repurpose them into modular, scalable energy storage solutions. These second-life batteries offer all the benefits of traditional BESS, while also minimizing environmental impact through reuse and circularity. Key advantages: Circular and sustainable : Reusing EV batteries extends their life and reduces the need for new materials. Made in Sweden : Our systems are built and supported locally for Nordic reliability and resilience. Read how BESS empowers industries transitioning to electric transportation How does peak shaving work in practice? A second-life BESS is charged when electricity prices are low, typically at night or during low-demand periods. It then discharges energy during peak hours to reduce the facility’s grid draw.
