ENERGY STORAGE AS A SERVICE
Are growing electricity bills and lack of capacity during peak demand times holding your business back?
The Energy’s Storage as a Service (ESaaS) from Utility Savings Group guarantees to reduce the most
expensive hours of electric demand for building owners, lowering electricity bills and at no-cost.
COST SAVINGS
The main areas of savings result from a reduction of kWh during the Red Board (DUoS) and Triad (TNUoS) periods. Savings per 50kW Storage Module are typically £2,500 to £3,000 per year, depending on the DNO area.
POTENTIAL REVENUES
New income streams through the grid and government incentive programs and your participation. You host the batteries, which release stored power back into your grid for 4 hours a day at peak cost times. We can provide this service by allowing the batteries to participate in the National Grid Frequency Response scheme.
NO CUSTOMER COST
As ESaaS generates income, we share in the savings by providing you with four hours of energy release a day.

ENERGY ARBITRAGE
Purchase energy during off-peak times to use when electricity prices are high to lower your overall cost of electricity.
PEAK DEMAND MANAGEMENT
Reduce facility demand during grid peak demand times. Peak Demand charges are set to increase, ESaaS is designed to offset your peak demand, Triad (TNUoS) and Red Band (DUoS) charges.
DEMAND RESPONSE
Participate in Grid-based incentive programs to curtail facility energy demand without affecting operation.
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
Condition incoming power to your facility to operate more efficiently and improve your power factor. An improved power factor reduces your monthly demand charge.
POWER QUALITY
Receive uninterrupted, reliable power and eliminate unexpected fluctuations. This will minimize costly delays and defects due to Intermittent power.
PEAK SHAVING
Reduce monthly demand charges by offsetting your energy at peak facility demand periods to minimize your monthly demand charges
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
Ease congestion and constraint on the electricity grid network to maintain reliability and extend equipment lifetime. Local grid operators offer incentives for these services to defer costly system upgrades.
MARKET ANCILLARY SERVICE
To pay for providing the Batteries on-site we participate in National Grid Services such as frequency regulation.
Q1 : WHAT DOES ESaaS SAVE ME?
The main areas of cost savings result from a reduction of kWh during the Red Board (DUoS) and timed (TNUoS) periods. Savings per 50kWh Storage Module are typically £2,500 to £3,000 per year, depending on the DNO area. ESaaS is a modular service, the number of modules that can be installed on-site are matched to the site(s) electricity use profile.
Q2: WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVIDE FOR UTILITY SAVINGS GROUP TO ESTIMATE AND PLAN ESaaS SAVINGS IN DETAIL?
Q3: WHAT IS THE COST OF THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Q4: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE ASSESSMENT, AND WHAT DOES IT COST?
If the assessment is beneficial for all parties, Utility Savings Group will schedule a meeting to discuss the results and next steps. At the time of the meeting, we would also conduct a site surveyor to cover the topics in Q6 below.
ESaaS does not require you to outlay any capital. ESaaS is dependent on you agreeing to host the battery module(s) on-site. You use the daily 4-hour energy release period to save, typically during Triad/Red Band time, we then operate the remaining 20 hours under the National Grid Frequency Response scheme.
Q5: DO I HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT FOR ESaaS?
Q6: WHAT ARE THE MAIN CONSIDERATIONS FOR SITE DEPLOYMENT?
Suitable space and access to be made available. Suitable breakers should be made available for isolation and protection. Fire suppression is built-in to the battery modules, and cooling is not required. No-site downtime is required. The ESaaS modules require an annual maintenance check, this will be carried out by Utility Savings Group qualified engineers.

NO CAPITAL REQUIRED
We handle all the system costs which means there is no capital outlay from you. ESaaS is a simple, predictable, and savings based service agreement.
THE KNOW-HOW TO OPERATE IT
With ESaaS, we provide you with an energy dashboard and regular energy reports so you can see we are fulfilling our promise. Our 24-hour Network Operations Centre is currently managing hundreds of MWs of Distributed Energy Resources across the UK. Any outage or out-of-bounds conditions will be flagged for support action.
ESaaS IS KEY TO OUR CUSTOMER PROPOSITION
ESaaS is part of our core proposition. We pride ourselves on delivering not only kWh unit cost savings but also savings of the kWh’s themselves. By allowing us to focus on energy saving, you can focus on your core business. We built our business to lower your energy costs through unit rate and efficiency improvements.
When ESaaS is blended into your facility with other energy efficiency measures e.g. Energy Monitoring & Switching, LED, Solar, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging and Power Optimisation, your energy infrastructure becomes a Microgrid that not only optimizes how your energy is used but can spur new Smart Grid projects that can drive new revenue and cost savings opportunities.
